Funding Rate

Funding rates are a key mechanism for keeping long and short positions balanced. They reflect net market bias and are settled hourly between the two sides.

Rate Calculation

MC Markets’ system calculates and updates the funding rate every minute, displaying it in real time. This lets users track market sentiment and anticipate potential funding costs.

Settlement Frequency

Funding rates are settled once every hour, on the hour. The system uses the rate at that exact point to determine the amount paid or received.

This design balances transparency with efficiency. Users always see the latest rates while the settlement process remains straightforward and stable.
