BlockBeats Note: Funding Rate is a fee set by cryptocurrency exchanges to maintain balance between the contract price and the underlying asset price, usually applicable to perpetual contracts. It is a mechanism for fund exchange between long and short traders. The trading platform does not charge this fee but uses it to adjust the cost or profit of traders holding contracts to keep the contract price close to the underlying asset price.
When the Funding Rate is 0.01%, it represents the base rate. When the Funding Rate is greater than 0.01%, it indicates a generally bullish market. When the Funding Rate is less than 0.005%, it indicates a generally bearish market.
