Crypto Funding and Volume — 31 August 2026

What it cost to hold a perpetual on 31 August 2026, and where the volume was.

Funding cost the most on Bitget and the least on Kraken, a gap of 0.0086 percentage points per interval. Carrying the same position for a day cost 0.026% more of notional on the expensive side — 0.26% of margin at 10x.

Funding was positive on every venue, so longs paid shorts across the board.

69 of 766 listed perpetuals cleared $5M of 24-hour volume — 9.0% of the board. Outside that set, spreads widen and a market order costs more than the fee schedule suggests.

The widest funding on the board was ZORAUSDT at -1.7388% per interval, paid by shorts — 1904% annualised if it were to hold, which it will not.

Bitcoin closed the day at 77,740.40, -0.46% against the previous capture.

Fear & Greed sat at 62 (Greed), a middling reading.
