A position with no expiry date

This contract tracks Ethereum and never settles. You hold it as long as you like, and the hourly funding payment is what keeps its price tied to the underlying.

Both sides of the book are quoted continuously, and everything on this page is measured from that book rather than estimated.

What the funding costs here

The hourly rate is +0.0013%, so a position held for a day pays or collects +0.0300%, and a week works out to +0.210%. Annualised at the current rate that is +10.95% — it costs the long side 10.95% a year at the current rate. The rate is recomputed continuously, so this is what today looks like, not a promise about next week.

Funding is what keeps the contract tethered to the underlying price. When it is positive the long side is crowded and pays the short side; when it flips, so does the payment. A rate that stays on one side for days is worth more attention than a large rate that lasts an hour.

How busy this book is

Over the last day $18.59M changed hands against $5.64M of open interest, so the market turns over about once a day, which is the profile of a book people hold rather than trade. Across 24,001 trades that averages $774.73 per trade.

The ratio matters more than either number alone: turnover tells you how easily you can get in and out, open interest tells you how much conviction is sitting there. A book with high turnover and low open interest is liquid but shallow — easy to enter, and nobody holding the other side of your view.

What a trade costs here

These numbers are ours, not the venue's. We record this order book every 5.5 seconds and measure how far from the mid a real market order would fill — 7,246,785 snapshots so far, counted only while the market was open, because off-hours the book sits wide and would flatter nothing.

Half-spread
0.65 bp — what you give up just by crossing, before size.
$1,000 order
1.32 bp from the mid.
$5,000 order
1.92 bp. The gap against the $1,000 line is what depth costs you.
