7-day funding history
Realized funding snapshots by venue. Positive values mean longs paid shorts; negative values mean shorts paid longs.
Why funding exists
Perpetual futures do not expire, so exchanges use periodic funding payments to help keep the contract near the underlying spot market. Positive funding commonly means longs pay shorts; negative funding reverses that direction. The rate can change materially from one interval to the next.
How traders use funding
Funding is most useful when combined with price and open interest. Extremely positive funding can indicate crowded long exposure, but crowded markets can remain crowded for a long time. A negative rate does not automatically mean price must rise. Treat the rate as a cost and positioning input.
Model the cost before holding
For leveraged positions, a small periodic rate can become meaningful relative to the margin committed. TradingHub’s dedicated funding calculator uses position notional, leverage, holding time and funding rate to estimate the cash impact and percentage of margin.
