Perpetual Funding Rate & Carry Analysis
Hyperliquid updates funding continuously and settles payments every hour on the hour. Unlike 8-hour venues (such as Binance and Bybit), 1-hour settlement prevents extreme basis distortion during aggressive market runs.
Current Lean: Funding is balanced. Carry cost is nominal between longs and shorts.
