The average is positive, so longs pay shorts: at this rate a $10,000 long pays about $0.20 every 8 hours and a short of the same size receives it. What a position really pays depends on the rate of the exchange where it is open.
Across exchanges the 8-hour rate runs from −0.0010% (OKX) to 0.0041% (Hyperliquid).
Of the 48 largest coins with perpetuals that AlertaChart follows, ETH has the #29 highest average funding right now and the #2 largest open interest.

Reading ETH funding
Funding keeps a perpetual contract’s price close to the ETH index price: when the perpetual trades above the index the rate is positive and longs pay shorts; when it trades below, the rate turns negative and shorts pay longs. Only positions open at a settlement pay or receive, and each pays the rate of its own exchange.
A high rate shows where leverage leans, not where the price goes next: a crowded side can stay crowded for days, and a rate can flip within one period. This page is for information and education; it is not investment advice.
Questions about ETH funding
What is the ETH funding rate today?
As of Nov 14, 2026, 2:04 AM UTC, the open-interest-weighted average across Bybit, OKX, Coinbase, and Hyperliquid is 0.0020% per 8 hours, which is 2.21% a year without compounding. By exchange, the 8-hour rate runs from −0.0010% to 0.0041%. The average leaves out Binance, which gave no open-interest figure.
Who pays when the ETH funding rate is positive?
Longs pay shorts; when the rate is negative, shorts pay longs. The payment is the position’s value times the rate, and only positions open at the settlement time pay or receive it.
How often is ETH funding paid?
It depends on the exchange: Binance every 8h, Bybit every 8h, OKX every 8h, Coinbase every 1h, and Hyperliquid every 1h. The table converts every rate to 8 hours so that they can be compared.
How do you compare ETH funding across exchanges?
Every rate is first put on the same 8-hour period: rate per 8h = rate × 8 ÷ the exchange’s interval in hours. The average then weighs each exchange by its open interest in ETH: Σ(rate per 8h × open interest) ÷ Σ open interest.
How much does ETH funding cost a position?
A payment is the position’s value times the rate per payment. At the current average, a $10,000 position pays or receives about $0.20 every 8 hours — about $0.61 a day. The rate can change at every payment, so read this as an illustration.
