Rates are per settlement interval (1h/4h/8h depending on exchange) and APR annualizes the current rate at that interval. The Accumulated column sums the rate at each settlement over the selected window (1Y uses exchange-reported yearly accumulation). Live rates update about every 10 seconds.

How to read the colors: funding reflects positioning and the cost of leverage, not price direction. Funding is the fee longs pay shorts (negative means shorts pay longs). Green = funding below the neutral baseline (~0.01% per 8h): holding longs is cheap and the market is not crowded long. Gray = the neutral zone around baseline. Red = elevated funding: longs are crowded and paying up, with deeper red meaning a more extreme premium. The Accumulated column is colored by its per-settlement average, so it reads on the same scale as the live rate. Green funding while price falls = no euphoria and longs are cheap to hold — often a constructive contrarian signal. Red funding while price rises = crowded leveraged longs paying high fees — a setup vulnerable to long squeezes.

The current KCS USDT perpetual funding rate (8h, OI-weighted) is -0.0762%, meaning shorts are paying longs right now. A negative rate is the less common state — it appears when perpetuals trade below spot and short positioning dominates. Learn more about how funding rates work →
