What the NEWT funding rate means
What NEWT actually paid over the last 30 days: 1,530 settlements across 9 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 -1.0253% 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 83% of the 1,530 settlements recorded here, meaning longs paid shorts that often.
Over the window, settled totals ranged from -1.0253% on Gate.io to -3.7289% on Bybit — the gap between them is what a delta-neutral position collecting on both legs would have captured before fees and slippage. Verify the live version of this spread on the ORBIT funding screener before sizing a trade: settled history shows what already happened, not what will happen next.
