What the SONIC funding rate means
What SONIC actually paid over the last 30 days: 1,800 settlements across 10 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. Binance Futures paid the most over the window at +2.7733% 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 1,800 settlements recorded here, meaning longs paid shorts that often.
Over the window, settled totals ranged from +2.7733% on Binance Futures to +0.8883% 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.
Frequently asked questions

- Binance Futures paid the most over the last 30 days at +2.7733% of position size across 180 settlements, an average annualized rate of +33.76%. This is a sum of actual payments, not a forecast.
- How often is SONIC funding actually paid?
