BRENT Funding Rate History — Settled Payments by Exchange

What BRENT (Crude Oil (Brent)) actually paid over the last 30 days: 5,490 settlements across 20 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. PopDEX paid the most over the window at -1.6170% 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 42% of the 5,490 settlements recorded here, meaning longs paid shorts that often.

Over the window, settled totals ranged from -1.6170% on PopDEX to -5.8544% on Hotcoin — the gap between them is what a delta-neutral position collecting on both legs would have captured before fees and slippage.
