Live perpetual funding rates: Binance and OKX compared

Predicted funding rates this interval

A positive rate means longs pay shorts; a negative rate means shorts pay longs. The long-per-interval column converts each rate into what a 10,000 USDT long pays or receives in one settlement, so magnitudes can be compared directly; a short gets the same amount in the opposite direction.

Each contract's settlements over 30 days

The table shows the rate predicted right now. For what a contract actually charged at every settlement of the past 30 days, how the two exchanges' totals compare and the rate limits each sets, open the contract's own page.

Monthly funding reports

Once a month, both exchanges' settlement records are summarised: each contract's average, median, extremes and sign counts, and what a 10,000 USDT long paid for the whole month. A report records what happened; it does not forecast the next month.

How to read the table

The predicted rate is what the exchange publishes ahead of settlement. It keeps moving with the market until the settlement time fixes it, so one market can show several values within an interval; the 24-hour range is the lowest and highest of the values recorded.

That range describes observed movement, not statistics of settled rates, and it says nothing about the next interval; settled rates are listed on each contract's page. For what your own account was charged, its funding history is authoritative.

• The sign sets the direction: positive, longs pay; negative, shorts pay.
• The amount follows position value, not leverage: a 10,000 USDT position pays the same at 5× and at 50×.
• Only positions held at the settlement time pay or receive; close before it and that interval costs nothing.

Why the two exchanges differ

Each exchange's perpetual price, index composition, rate formula and positioning differ, so at the same moment the two rates are often several times apart and occasionally of opposite sign.

The comparison under the table appears only when both observations are live and were fetched within two hours of each other. If either is stale, missing or too far apart in time, each exchange's figure is shown on its own — the same rule every comparison on this site follows.

Translate it to your own position

The table always converts to a 10,000 USDT long. For a different size, or the total over several intervals, take the rate into the funding cost calculator, which also accepts an interval-by-interval series instead of a fixed rate.

Comparing the full cost of a position across exchanges also needs entry and exit fees. Funding is one item among several, and the shorter the hold, the more fees dominate.

Data source and limits

Predicted rates come from Binance's and OKX's official public data every 15 minutes, and the settlement records on each contract's page from both exchanges' published funding history, all without any account credentials. If an update fails, the table keeps the last value that was fetched successfully; data with nothing new for 90 minutes is marked out of date.

The table does not reflect your account's fee tier, regional eligibility or execution quality, and it is neither an exchange recommendation nor a trading signal. Before placing an order, use the figures on the exchange's contract and account pages.
