Ethereum Classic Funding Rate FAQ
What is the ETC funding rate?expand_more
The funding rate is a periodic payment between longs and shorts on perpetual futures markets. A positive rate means longs pay shorts; a negative rate means shorts pay longs. It keeps the perpetual price anchored to spot.
Why is the funding rate positive or negative?expand_more
When most traders are long, funding turns positive to encourage shorts; when the crowd is short, funding turns negative to encourage longs. Extreme values often signal crowded positioning and potential reversals.
How is APR calculated from the funding rate?expand_more
APR annualizes the rate using the funding interval: rate × (24h / interval hours) × 365. For example, a 0.01% rate paid every 8 hours annualizes to roughly 10.95%.
When is funding paid on ETC perpetuals?expand_more
Most exchanges settle funding every 8 hours (00:00, 08:00, 16:00 UTC), though some venues use 4-hour or 1-hour intervals. The exact next settlement time is shown next to each market on this page.
What is considered a high funding rate?expand_more
Sustained funding above 0.05-0.1% per interval is elevated and indicates strong directional crowding. Funding arbitrage traders typically look for markets where the annualized rate exceeds holding costs.
