ApeX has published an educational article explaining the mechanics, costs, and strategic considerations of funding rates in perpetual futures trading, including how these rates impact profitability and trading decisions.
ApeX has released an educational article under its ApeX Learn series titled “Funding Rates: Essentials of Perpetual Futures Trading,” published on September 4, 2025. The article provides a detailed explanation of funding rates in perpetual futures, clarifying that these are periodic payments exchanged between long and short traders, not fees charged by the trading platform. It outlines the calculation methods for funding rates, their role in aligning contract prices with spot prices, and their implications for profitability and trading decisions. The content also covers practical examples, timing considerations, strategies affected by funding, and risk controls, presenting a comprehensive overview without promoting any product or service.
