What the BEL funding rate means
What BEL actually paid over the last 30 days: 828 settlements across 7 venues, broken down venue by venue. These are settled payments — the amount an exchange actually charged or credited each funding interval — not the rate currently quoted for the next payment. Gate.io paid the most over the window at +2.2536% of position size.
A funding rate quoted right now is a forecast of the next payment; what a position actually earned is the sum of payments that already settled. Two venues can quote a similar rate and still pay very differently over a month, because they settle on different schedules and compute the rate from their own order book rather than a shared index. The rate was positive in 99% of the 828 settlements recorded here, meaning longs paid shorts that often.
Over the window, settled totals ranged from +2.2536% on Gate.io to +0.8641% on Binance Futures — the gap between them is what a delta-neutral position collecting on both legs would have captured before fees and slippage.

Frequently asked questions

- A funding rate quoted right now is a forecast of the next payment; what a position actually earned is the sum of payments that already settled. Two venues can quote a similar rate and still pay very differently over a month, because they settle on different schedules and compute the rate from their own order book rather than a shared index. The rate was positive in 99% of the 828 settlements recorded here.

- Gate.io paid the most over the last 30 days at +2.2536% of position size across 90 settlements, an average annualized rate of +27.44%. This is a sum of actual payments, not a forecast.
- How often is BEL funding actually paid?
