Crypto Funding Rates & Open Interest
Live perpetual funding rates and open interest across Binance, Bybit, OKX, and Bitget. Positive funding means longs pay shorts — a crowded-long setup, not a bullish signal on its own. Research context, not a trading signal.

About this data
Funding rate is the periodic payment perpetual futures traders exchange to keep contract prices anchored to spot. A positive rate means long positions pay short positions — a sign the market is crowded long, which raises the risk of a downside squeeze if sentiment reverses, not evidence of future upside. A negative rate is the mirror case: crowded short, raising squeeze risk to the upside. Open interest is the total value of outstanding contracts; a large move on falling open interest suggests position unwinding rather than fresh conviction.
Figures are aggregated live from each venue’s public REST API (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget) and take the median funding rate and summed open interest across whichever venues respond. This is a snapshot, not investment advice — treat funding extremes as one input among several, not a standalone signal.
