Positioning

Where traders are leaning on perpetual futures: funding, who pays whom, how the rate differs between venues, how much is open and where a venue is off the pooled price. Stock perps included.

Stock perps: where funding says the crowd is leaning

On a perpetual, the side that is crowded pays the other. A high positive rate means longs are paying up to hold stock exposure; a negative rate means shorts are. Open-interest-weighted across venues, annualised, for stock perps with at least $5M open interest on two or more venues.

Annualised funding in percent from perpetual futures venues. Positive: longs pay shorts. “Venue spread” is the gap between the highest and lowest annualised funding across the venues we pool, in percentage points; the last column names the venue with the lowest rate (cheapest to be long) and the one with the highest (paid to be short). Holding both legs would earn roughly that gap before trading fees, borrow, margin and execution cost, and the rates change every hour. Open interest and its change are summed over venues; a change is shown only when the venues behind it cover at least half of the open interest and the market has at least $10M open.

Venue prices (perpetual and spot markets on crypto and on-chain venues), compared with our pooled venue price; not official exchange prices. A listing is flagged when its last price is at least 30 basis points (0.30%) from the pooled price. Thin stock-perp markets and stale quotes are the usual cause; a persistent gap on a liquid venue can mean a real mispricing or a contract that tracks something different. For stock perps against the last US cash close, see While the market was closed.

Derived from our own venue snapshots (Hyperliquid, Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Coinbase, Kraken, Lighter, Aster, dYdX where listed); each instrument row cites its primary venue market page in the API. Aggregates only: no tick data or order books are republished. Funding rates are exchange-reported and annualised by us. This is information, not investment advice.
