What is Bybit funding rate?
Funding rate is the periodic payment exchanged between long and short traders on Bybit 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.

How to use this data
Use Bybit funding as a positioning gauge before you open a trade. If funding on your pair is strongly positive, longs are paying a premium to stay long; a reversal toward neutral or negative often precedes a price flush, so consider whether you are catching a crowded trade. Conversely, deeply negative funding flags crowded shorts and a squeeze risk.
You can also harvest the carry: when Bybit funding on a pair runs higher than the same pair on Binance or OKX, going long where funding is highest and short where it is lowest can capture the spread. The funding dashboard surfaces these cross-exchange divergences directly.
