$STAR Latest funding rate: +0.0656% (settled every 4 hours). Long positions pay. Annualized based on this period alone, that’s approximately 143.7%.
Let’s use this figure to break down the funding rate.
Perpetual contracts have no expiry date. The funding rate keeps the contract price anchored to the spot price: long and short positions pay each other a fee at regular intervals.
For those holding a position on the paying side, the higher the rate, the more they pay at each settlement, and the cost of holding the position rises accordingly.
The point of understanding this indicator is to avoid being spooked by a single number—not to use it to predict tops and bottoms precisely.
