About KuCoin funding rates

Funding payments keep KuCoin perpetual contracts pinned to the underlying spot price. A positive KuCoin funding rate means longs pay shorts — the long side is crowded and willing to pay to hold the position. A negative KuCoin funding rate means shorts pay longs. All rates on this page are normalized to an 8-hour basis so KuCoin can be compared directly with venues that fund hourly, every 4 hours, or on any other schedule.
