The table shows every exchange where ASTS trades as a perpetual: the rate per settlement, the same rate annualized, the settlement interval and when the next one is. The numbers are the exchanges’ own, read live, not a snapshot from an hour ago.

A positive rate is paid by longs to shorts, a negative one the other way round. The annualized figure assumes the rate stays put for a year, which it never does — it is a way to compare exchanges with different intervals, not a forecast.

The highest and the lowest rate across exchanges are what a funding spread is made of: short where longs pay the most, long where they pay the least, and collect the difference every settlement — minus the cost of entering both legs.

FAQ

What is a funding rate?

A periodic payment between long and short holders of a perpetual that keeps its price near the spot price. Positive: longs pay shorts; negative: shorts pay longs.

How is the annualized rate computed?

The rate per settlement times the number of settlements in a year — 1095 for an 8h interval — in percent. It is a comparison figure, not a forecast.

Why does the rate differ between exchanges?

Each exchange computes its own rate from its own order flow and interval. The differences are what funding arbitrage lives on.
