Only perpetual markets with at least $10M of 24-hour volume count (780 markets right now), so thin markets sitting at their funding cap never top the list. Rates are converted to 8 hours and to APR so exchanges with 1, 4 and 8 hour intervals compare directly.

## Frequently asked questions

### What does a high funding rate mean?

A high positive funding rate means the perpetual trades above its index price and longs pay shorts every interval. It usually signals crowded long positioning; the rate is paid on the position's notional value, not on margin.

### Can I earn the highest funding rate?

You earn positive funding by holding the short side. To avoid price risk, pair it with a long on spot (cash and carry) or a long perpetual on an exchange that pays less; the difference, after fees, is the funding arbitrage profit.
