Go long on $ETH , and someone pays you every hour.
Data just pulled from Hyperliquid’s public API, at 13:30:
$ETH funding rate: -0.0012%/hour; $BTC : +0.00125%/hour.
A negative rate means shorts pay longs; a positive rate works the other way around.
This money isn’t collected by the exchange—it’s transferred between longs and shorts.
Let’s do the math for a 10,000 U position:
A $ETH long earns about 0.12 U per hour, or about 2.9 U a day.
A $BTC long pays 0.125 U per hour, or 3 U a day.
The rate is settled once every hour, and the numbers can change at any time.
Don’t open a position just for this tiny rate. If you get the direction wrong, a day’s worth of funding won’t cover even half a candlestick’s loss.
The rate is shown next to the price on every perpetuals page. Just take a look before opening a position.
Funding is a cost, not a strategy.
