What it cost to hold a perpetual on 21 September 2026, and where the volume was.
Funding cost the most on OKX and the least on MEXC, a gap of 0.0043 percentage points per interval. Carrying the same position for a day cost 0.013% more of notional on the expensive side — 0.13% of margin at 10x.
Funding was positive on every venue, so longs paid shorts across the board.
71 of 797 listed perpetuals cleared $5M of 24-hour volume — 8.9% 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 GUSDT at -0.2609% per interval, paid by shorts — 286% annualised if it were to hold, which it will not.
Bitcoin closed the day at 81,531.10, +0.38% against the previous capture.
Fear & Greed sat at 70 (Greed), a middling reading.
