BlockBeats Note: Funding rates are fees set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain the balance between contract prices and underlying asset prices, typically applied to perpetual contracts. It is a fund exchange mechanism between long and short traders, where the trading platform does not collect this fee. It is used to adjust the cost or earnings of traders holding contracts to keep the contract price close to the underlying asset price.

When the funding rate is 0.01%, it represents the benchmark rate. When the funding rate is greater than 0.01%, it indicates that the market is generally bullish. When the funding rate is less than 0.005%, it represents that the market is generally bearish.
