BlockBeats Note: The funding rate is a fee set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain the balance between the contract price and the underlying asset price, usually applied to perpetual contracts. It is a mechanism for fund exchange between long and short traders, and the trading platform does not charge this fee.
