Mild negative funding on Bybit (-11.53% ann). Longs collect. Below our −8% Bybit short-carry threshold but tradeable on a venue with lower thresholds.

Reading the BNB rate

Every eight hours, Bybit and Binance settle a small payment between longs and shorts on the BNB/USDT perpetual contract. The size of that payment is the funding rate. Positive means longs pay shorts; negative means shorts pay longs. We annualise it (multiply the 8h figure by 3 × 365) so the number is comparable to the yields you see on lending products.

Above ±10% annualised is loud — somebody is paying real money to hold their side. Above ±25% rarely sustains for more than a few days. Around zero, the rate is mostly noise and the round-trip cost of a carry trade will eat any edge.

Two things we've learned running this on real capital: pick the venue where the rate is loudest at the moment you enter, and remember that an HL hourly rate of +0.001% is +8.76% annualised — not the same animal as a Bybit 8h rate of +0.001%.
