Details

The futures_cumulative_funding_rate_usd_margin_* metrics represent the cumulative average funding rate weighted by open interest from futures markets where the margin asset is U.S. dollars or stablecoins over the previous specified time period.

The futures_cumulative_funding_rate_coin_margin_* metrics represent the cumulative average funding rate weighted by open interest from futures markets where the margin asset is equivalent to the underlying base asset over the previous specified time period.

The futures_cumulative_funding_rate_all_margin_* metrics represent the cumulative average funding rate weighted by open interest from all futures markets, regardless of the margin asset, over the previous specified time period.

These metrics have a publication frequency of once per hour and represent the cumulative realized funding rate over the previous 1 day, 7 day, and 30 day time periods.

For example, at the market level, the cumulative funding rate for binance-BTCUSDT-future over the course of one day would be the cumulative product of the three 8-hour funding settlement rates reported that day. For these metrics, with the CFR being calculated for assets, we leverage our Aggregate Futures Funding Rate to perform this calculation across all relevant markets.

To accumulate the rates hour-over-hour, we first convert the AFR to an hourly rate, multiply the rates together, then convert the product back to the desired rate.

$$CFR_{L}=\prod_{i=1}^{L} (1 + AFR_{1h,i}) - 1$$

$$AFR_{1h,i} = \frac{AFR_{8h,i}}{8}$$

where $AFR_{i}$ is the Aggregate Funding Rate at timestamp $i$. The increments $i$ are hourly, as $AFR$ is published hourly. Thus, futures_cumulative_funding_rate_usd_margin_1dis the accumulation of funding rates over the last 24 hours, futures_cumulative_funding_rate_usd_margin_7d is the accumulation of funding rates over the last 168 hours, etc.

API Endpoints

Cumulative Futures Funding Rates can be accessed using the timeseries/asset-metrics and timeseries/exchange-asset-metrics endpoints by passing in futures_cumulative_funding_rate_usd_margin_* to the metrics parameter.

Asset metrics

get

Returns requested metrics for specified assets. Results for block by block metrics (1b frequency) are ordered by tuple (asset, height, block_hash), all other metrics are ordered by tuple (asset, time). You can change the sorting using sort query parameter. Supported output formats are json (default) and csv, use format query parameter to override it. To fetch the next page of results use next_page_url JSON response field or x-next-page-url CSV HTTP header if present. If multiple metrics are requested in the same time the strict policy for partially available metrics among requested ones is applied:

Specifies how many blocks behind the chain tip block by block metrics (1b frequency) are based on. Default for btc is 2 and 99 for eth. For example, a min_confirmations of 0 means metrics are being calculated for the block at the tip of the chain (the latest block received by our node) whereas a min_confirmations of 6 means that metrics are being applied to the block that is 6 blocks behind the chain tip (i.e., the 7th block if the chain tip is block 1).

sortstring · enumOptional

How results will be sorted. Metrics with 1b frequency are sorted by (asset, height, block_hash) tuples by default. Metrics with other frequencies are sorted by (asset, time) by default. If you want to sort 1d metrics by (time, asset) you should choose time as value for the sort parameter. Sorting by time is useful if you request metrics for a set of assets.
