What it cost to hold a perpetual on 16 October 2026, and where the volume was.
Funding cost the most on MEXC and the least on Bybit, a gap of 0.0018 percentage points per interval. Carrying the same position for a day cost 0.005% more of notional on the expensive side — 0.05% of margin at 10x.
Funding was positive on every venue, so longs paid shorts across the board.
114 of 834 listed perpetuals cleared $5M of 24-hour volume — 13.7% 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 BLURUSDT at -0.1338% per interval, paid by shorts — 147% annualised if it were to hold, which it will not.
Bitcoin closed the day at 82,348.90, +0.73% against the previous capture.
Fear & Greed sat at 63 (Greed), a middling reading.
