About QFEX funding rates

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