Have you already noticed the countdown timer displayed on Binance Futures? 👀
It’s linked to the funding rate.
The funding rate is a periodic payment exchanged directly between traders holding Long and Short positions on perpetual Futures contracts.
Its purpose is simple: to help keep the Futures contract price close to the spot market price.
• Positive funding: Longs pay Shorts.
• Negative funding: Shorts pay Longs.
So the rate may cost you money—or earn you money—depending on your position and market conditions.
Before opening a Futures position, remember to check the funding rate. It’s one of the costs to consider in your strategy.
