Bybit Funding Rates — Live Perpetual Futures Data

What is Binance funding rate?

Funding rate is the periodic payment exchanged between long and short traders on Binance perpetual futures contracts. It is charged every 8 hours at 00:00, 08:00, and 16:00 UTC. When the rate is positive, longs pay shorts. When it is negative, shorts pay longs. The rate is calculated as the difference between the mark price and the index price, dampened by an interest rate component, and capped at ±0.05% per 8-hour window for most contracts.

How to read this page

The table below shows every tracked USDT-margined perpetual contract on Binance with the current funding rate, the percentage move over 24 hours, and the 24h trading volume. Rates are color-coded: red indicates positive funding (longs pay shorts), green indicates negative funding (shorts pay longs), and gray indicates funding close to zero. Sort any column by clicking the header. The data refreshes automatically every 5 minutes.

Why funding matters

Funding is the cleanest signal of positioning in a perpetual contract. When funding is consistently positive above 0.01% per 8 hours, longs are paying a meaningful premium to stay long — historically a sign of crowded positioning that often precedes a flush. When funding is consistently negative below -0.01%, shorts are paying longs, and a short squeeze becomes more likely. We track these extremes on the funding dashboard.

Cross-exchange comparison

Funding rates often diverge between Binance, Bybit, and OKX for the same contract. The largest divergences are highlighted on the funding dashboard, and traders can capture the spread by going long on the lower-funding venue and short on the higher-funding venue. The funding screener lets you filter the same data across all three exchanges simultaneously.
