TAOUSDT Funding Rate History

TAOUSDT is a Binance USDT-margined perpetual futures contract. Because a perp never expires, the exchange transfers a periodic funding payment between longs and shorts to keep the contract price anchored to the spot index. A positive rate means longs pay shorts; a negative rate means shorts pay longs. The current rate and the last 90 days of settlements are shown live on this page.

TAOUSDT funding settles every 4 hours. Binance can shorten the interval on volatile listings, so whenever enough data exists the cadence shown here is measured from the contract's actual recent settlements rather than assumed.

Negative funding means shorts are paying longs: the perp is trading below its spot index and short positioning is crowded. Persistently negative funding is a structural bias worth watching, since heavily short-crowded contracts can squeeze violently when price turns.
