Funding rates are periodic payments between long and short traders on perpetual futures contracts. When the rate is positive, longs pay shorts — indicating bullish sentiment and excess leverage on the long side. When negative, shorts pay longs.

Binance settles US/USDT funding every 4 hours. The rate is determined by the premium/discount between the perpetual contract price and the spot index price. Over 557 historical settlements, we observe a strong positive bias — making this pair highly predictable for Settled markets.
