How to check my Binance Futures funding rate history?

Accessing Funding Rate History via Web Interface

1. Log in to your Binance account at binance.com and navigate to Derivatives → USDⓈ-M Perpetual Contracts.

2. Select a specific trading pair such as BTCUSDT from the contract list.

3. Locate the Funding Rate field in the right-side information panel.

4. Click the question mark icon next to the funding rate value to open a pop-up window.

5. The pop-up displays the last three settlement records along with a 24-hour historical chart showing rate fluctuations.

Viewing Historical Data Through Mobile Application

1. Launch the official Binance App and ensure two-factor authentication is active.

2. Go to the Trade tab and select Futures at the bottom navigation bar.

3. Search for the desired contract symbol and enter its detail page.

4. At the top of the detail page, current funding rate and countdown to next settlement are shown.

5. Scroll down to the Contract Information section to review past settlement timestamps and corresponding rate values.

Retrieving Historical Rates Using API Endpoints

1. Refer to Binance Futures API documentation under the Market Data category.

2. Use the GET /fapi/v1/fundingRate endpoint with parameters like symbol=BTCUSDT and limit=100.

3. Each response includes fundingRate, fundingTime, and symbol fields.

4. The fundingTime field contains Unix timestamps aligned with East Eighth Zone time zone.

5. Historical data returned covers up to 1000 entries depending on the limit parameter and endpoint constraints.

Understanding Settlement Timestamps and Value Precision

1. Funding settlements occur every 8 hours at 00:00, 08:00, and 16:00 UTC+8.

2. All displayed funding rates are formatted to six decimal places for precision.

3. Negative values indicate payments from short positions to long positions.

4. Positive values indicate payments from long positions to short positions.

5. Each settlement timestamp corresponds exactly to the moment when funds are transferred between counterparties.

Interpreting Historical Patterns and Extreme Values

1. A sustained positive trend over multiple cycles may signal dominant bullish sentiment.

2. Repeated negative readings across consecutive settlements often reflect bearish consensus.

3. Outlier values exceeding ±0.0075% trigger automatic adjustments per Binance’s dynamic cap mechanism.

4. Peaks or troughs that deviate more than three standard deviations from the 30-day moving average warrant deeper analysis.

5. Sudden reversals in sign within two consecutive settlements suggest rapid shifts in market positioning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can I export funding rate history as CSV directly from the Binance website?No. Binance does not provide a native CSV export option for funding rate history. Users must rely on API calls or manual recording from the pop-up chart.

Q2: Does the funding rate history include failed or cancelled settlements?No. Only successfully executed settlements appear in both UI pop-ups and API responses. Failed transfers due to system errors are excluded from public logs.

Q3: Are funding rate values adjusted for daylight saving time changes?No. All timestamps and settlement windows strictly follow UTC+8 regardless of regional daylight saving policies.

Q4: How are fractional funding rate values rounded before display in the UI?Values are truncated—not rounded—to six decimal places in all interface elements including charts and tables.
