What Are Funding Rates?

Funding rates are periodic payments exchanged between traders holding long and short positions in perpetual futures markets. They serve as a mechanism to keep the perpetual contract price aligned with the underlying spot price. When the rate is positive, traders with long positions pay those with short positions — indicating bullish sentiment. When negative, shorts pay longs — signaling bearish conditions. Rates are typically settled every 8 hours. Yieldo monitors funding rates across 7+ exchanges in real time, updating data every 10 minutes — helping traders spot arbitrage opportunities and manage position costs.

What Are Funding Rates and Why They Matter

Funding rates are periodic payments between long and short traders in perpetual futures markets. They keep futures prices aligned with spot prices. When funding is positive, longs pay shorts — the market is bullish. When negative, shorts pay longs — the market is bearish.

Historical Funding Patterns

Funding rates tend to spike during strong market trends. During bull runs, positive rates can exceed 0.1% per 8 hours (36.5% annualized). In bear markets, negative funding creates opportunities for reverse arbitrage.
