BTC and ETH: completed UTC days
last 14 days · observed ratesDaily mean of hourly observed funding rates, in % per 8h (rate × 8 ÷ settlement interval). Source: this site's stored observations, not settled payments. Each hourly rate uses the chart's open-interest weighting across this venue's markets where available. Coverage is hourly buckets present out of 24; even 24/24 does not guarantee every underlying sample. Partial days average only available hours. Charts may also include settled history; the 7d/30d summaries above retain their stated payment/estimate method.

How it's counted. Lighter funding history since tracking began on 29 Sep 2026. Rates are 8-hour equivalents (rate × 8 ÷ settlement interval). Averages are net funding divided by covered hours, normalised per 8h; accumulated is the 30-day net amount. Coverage is the share of the window's duration represented by settled payment intervals and/or hourly rate observations. Partial averages cover less than 95% of the window and average only the recorded portion. Each figure shows its source: settled payments, an observed-rate estimate, or mixed settled payments plus an estimated observed tail. Estimates are not confirmed payments. Positive: longs pay, shorts receive. Negative: shorts pay, longs receive. Zero: no net payer (* = less than 95% of the window recorded).
