MEW funding rate: common questions

Do longs or shorts pay MEW funding right now?

Shorts pay longs on all 5 exchanges. The next MEW funding rate is negative everywhere, from -0.3651% on Bitget to -1.9519% on Bybit.

On Binance the rate has been positive for 11 settlements in a row, so this is a lasting cost for longs rather than a one-off spike.

Is the MEW funding rate high right now?

Not unusually. At the last settlement on Binance the rate was +0.0050%, close to its typical size of 0.0050% per settlement over the past 30 days.

Is the MEW perpetual trading above or below spot?

Below. On the 5 exchanges that publish an index price, the MEW perpetual's mark price is 2.4253% to 3.3666% below the spot index. Exchanges combine this discount with a small interest component to set the next funding rate, so a lasting discount pulls funding down, although many contracts stay at the default +0.0100% until the discount is large.

Which exchange was cheapest for holding MEW over the last 90 days?

Over the last 90 days a $10,000 long paid $55.32 in funding on Bitget, the cheapest of 5 exchanges, and paid $123.64 on Binance, the most expensive: a difference of $68.32.

The ranking runs the other way for shorts: a $10,000 short received $123.64 on Binance, the best exchange for a short.

The ranking has moved: over the last 7 days the cheapest for longs was OKX, and over 30 days Bybit, so check the recent figures before relying on the 90-day result.

Which exchange has the most MEW perpetual trading volume?

Binance has the most: 47.2% of the $14.6M in MEW perpetual futures traded across these exchanges in the last 24 hours, followed by OKX with 28.6%.

Open interest adds up to $5.4M on the exchanges that report it, the largest share on Bybit (35.8%).

When is the next MEW funding payment?

Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget and Gate: every 4 hours, next at 2026-10-21 04:00 UTC.

Only positions that are open at the settlement time pay or receive funding.

What was the highest MEW funding rate in the last 30 days?

The highest settled rate was +0.0050% on OKX (2026-10-21 00:00 UTC); the lowest was -0.5070% on Bybit (2026-09-30 08:00 UTC).

On Binance the rate switched between positive and negative 8 times over the 30 days.

How much has MEW funding cost over the past 30 days?

At the funding rates each exchange published, holding a $10,000 long for the past 30 days would have cost -$59.70 on Bybit, the least, and -$28.01 on Bitget, the most.

Over the past 90 days it would have cost $55.32 on Bitget, the least, and $123.64 on Binance, the most.

A negative amount means the long position was paid funding instead of charged.
