Funding Rate FAQ
The funding rate is a periodic payment exchanged between long and short traders every 8 hours to keep the perpetual contract price close to the spot market. When positive, longs pay shorts; when negative, shorts pay longs.
Funding payments occur every 8 hours at fixed timestamps (00:00, 08:00, 16:00 UTC on most exchanges). You only pay or receive funding if you hold a position at the exact funding timestamp.
Yes — many platforms now let you trade options on crypto in addition to perpetual futures. Options contracts give you the right (but not the obligation) to buy or sell at a set price, and you can use them to hedge perpetual positions or speculate on volatility. EVEDEX focuses on perpetual futures for now, with plans to expand derivatives offerings.
If you close your position before the funding timestamp, you do not pay or receive the funding fee for that interval. Funding only applies to open positions at the exact moment of the rate snapshot.
Funding rate = (Perpetual Price − Spot Index Price) / Spot Index Price, usually capped at ±0.05% per interval. The exact formula varies slightly by exchange but always aims to balance supply and demand for long and short exposure.
