Frequently asked questions
What is a funding rate in crypto perpetual futures?
A funding rate is a periodic payment between long and short traders that keeps the perpetual contract price aligned with the spot price. When more traders are long (bullish), longs pay shorts. When more shorts than longs (bearish), shorts pay longs. Charged every 8 hours on most exchanges.
How is funding fee calculated?
Funding Fee = Position Size x Funding Rate x Number of Periods. For a $10,000 position with 0.01% funding rate held 7 days (21 periods at 3/day), total funding = $10,000 x 0.0001 x 21 = $21. The math is independent of leverage — only position size matters.
When does funding rate flip from cost to income?
Funding flips when market sentiment changes. Positive funding means longs pay shorts (bullish bias). Negative funding means shorts pay longs (bearish bias). If you hold a position aligned with the unprofitable side (short during positive funding, or long during negative), you receive funding instead of paying.
How does funding rate impact long-term futures positions?
Funding compounds quickly on longer holds. A 0.05% per 8h rate equals 0.15% per day, or about 4.5% per month. On 50x leverage, 4.5% monthly funding consumes 50% of your margin per month — even before market moves. Long-held leveraged positions need lower leverage to survive funding accumulation.
