Funding rates are periodic payments between long and short traders in perpetual futures markets. They keep the futures price aligned with the spot price. High positive rates indicate bullish sentiment (longs pay shorts), while negative rates signal bearish conditions (shorts pay longs). Rates are typically settled every 8 hours, though some exchanges use 4-hour or 1-hour intervals.
