FTM Funding Rate FAQ
1. What is the FTM Funding Rate ?
The FTM Funding Rate is a long–short balancing mechanism in the perpetual futures market, designed to keep contract prices anchored to spot prices. When the perpetual contract price deviates from the spot price, exchanges periodically settle funding payments between long and short positions.
How it works:
Positive Funding Rate: Long positions pay short positions, indicating a market bias toward longs.
Negative Funding Rate: Short positions pay long positions, indicating a market bias toward shorts.
Key significance:
The Funding Rate is not a trading fee. Instead, it reflects market sentiment, leverage direction, and capital crowding, serving as a key reference for determining whether the market is overheated or oversold.
2. What is the current FTM Funding Rate?
The current real-time FTM Funding Rate is undefined%, reflecting the balance of capital between long and short positions during the current funding interval.
Data source:
This data is aggregated from the FTM perpetual futures markets of major exchanges such as Binance, OKX, Bybit, and Bitget, and is updated in real time according to each exchange’s funding rules.
Practical insights:
A larger absolute Funding Rate indicates stronger one-sided market sentiment
Prolonged periods of high positive or negative Funding Rates often signal the buildup of potential reversal risk
3. Why does the FTM Funding Rate continue to rise or fall?
Persistent changes in the FTM Funding Rate are usually driven by a high concentration of leveraged capital moving in the same direction.
Common causes include:
The emergence of strong market trends, with traders aggressively chasing price movements
Significant deviations between perpetual contract prices and spot prices
High-frequency trading and arbitrage capital continuously amplifying one-sided positions
Risk warning:
When the Funding Rate remains at extreme levels for extended periods, the market’s tolerance for counter-trend movements declines sharply. Once prices reverse, rapid deleveraging can be triggered.
4. Does a high Funding Rate mean FTM is about to fall?
Not necessarily, but it warrants close attention.
Market implications:
High positive Funding Rate: Extremely concentrated bullish sentiment, indicating potential long overcrowding risk
High negative Funding Rate: Concentrated bearish sentiment, which may lead to a short squeeze
Key takeaway:
The Funding Rate primarily reflects market sentiment and leverage structure rather than directly predicting price direction.
In strong trending markets, elevated Funding Rates can persist; however, in ranging or late-stage markets, they are more likely to serve as early warning signals of potential reversals.
5. What does a negative FTM Funding Rate indicate?
When the FTM Funding Rate is negative, it indicates that short positions dominate the market, and shorts are required to pay funding fees to long positions.
Common scenarios include:
Bearish market sentiment, with prices in a downtrend or weak consolidation
A large number of traders hedging or engaging in trend-following short positions
Insufficient spot demand, causing perpetual contract prices to trade below spot prices
Potential opportunities:
An extremely negative Funding Rate may signal excessive short positioning. If prices stabilize and rebound, it could trigger a short-covering rally.
6. How often is the FTM Funding Rate updated?
CoinGlass monitors the FTM perpetual futures market in real time, 24 hours a day. Funding Rate data is continuously updated in accordance with each exchange’s settlement cycle.
Update mechanism:
Most exchanges adopt Funding Rate settlement intervals of 8 hours, 4 hours, or 1 hour
The system synchronizes the latest rates immediately before and after each settlement
Data advantages:
By aggregating Funding Rates across multiple platforms in real time, users can clearly observe rate differences between exchanges and identify potential arbitrage opportunities.
7. Why does the FTM Funding Rate differ across exchanges?
The FTM Funding Rate can vary significantly across different exchanges, mainly due to the following factors:
Key factors:
Differences in user composition and leverage preferences across platforms
Variations in contract trading volume and open interest size
Differences in mark price calculation and risk engine algorithms
Practical value:
Comparing Funding Rate histories across exchanges helps identify where market sentiment is concentrated, as well as potential cross-platform arbitrage opportunities or risk accumulation points.
8. How can the FTM Funding Rate be used for market analysis?
Using the Funding Rate alone is not sufficient to make trading decisions. However, its analytical value increases significantly when combined with other indicators.
Recommended indicator combinations:
FTM Open Interest: Assess whether leverage is expanding simultaneously
Market Volatility: Confirm whether the market has entered a high-risk phase
Liquidation Data: Verify whether deleveraging has already occurred
Integrated analysis:
A combination of a high Funding Rate, rising Open Interest, and increasing volatility often indicates that the market has entered a high-risk zone.
Conversely, a decline in the Funding Rate accompanied by falling Open Interest may suggest that the market is seeking a new equilibrium.
