Perpetual funding rates are periodic payments exchanged between traders holding long and short positions in perpetual futures contracts on digital assets. These rates ensure that the contract price remains closely aligned with the underlying spot price of the asset. A positive funding rate means long position holders pay shorts, while a negative rate indicates shorts pay longs. They serve as a mechanism to balance supply and demand in the perpetual futures market. These rates are a key indicator of market sentiment and leverage.
