What it cost to hold a perpetual on 21 October 2026, and where the volume was.
Funding cost the most on Bybit and the least on Bitget, a gap of 0.0071 percentage points per interval. Carrying the same position for a day cost 0.021% more of notional on the expensive side — 0.21% of margin at 10x.
Funding was positive on every venue, so longs paid shorts across the board.
90 of 845 listed perpetuals cleared $5M of 24-hour volume — 10.7% 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 ERAUSDT at -0.1860% per interval, paid by shorts — 204% annualised if it were to hold, which it will not.
Bitcoin closed the day at 83,100.00, +1.75% against the previous capture.
Fear & Greed sat at 63 (Greed), a middling reading.
