Read original settled funding without inventing a yield
Compare the original Binance BTCUSDT and ETHUSDT perpetual funding history, inspect exact source ratios and clocks, then retain the same result for later review.
1. Choose the contract and the historical window
Open Funding from the market overviews. Choose BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT or both and explicitly apply that choice. Each is a Binance USDⓈ-M perpetual contract with USDT as quote and margin asset. Bitcoin held in a wallet and the BTCUSDT perpetual contract have different identities; this screen does not report a spot purchase price or the value of your portfolio.
The result contains settlements actually retained from the source. Use the period controls to create a new result for a different window. A missing point stays missing. The oldest stored point is the beginning of available coverage, not proof of the first settlement in the contract’s lifetime.
2. Read the sign and distinguish percent from the source ratio
The table presents the source rate as a percentage: an original ratio of 0.0001 is exactly 0.01%. This is a decimal shift, not a newly estimated fee. Passport, the graph and original exports retain the source ratio per settlement. Check the unit before copying a value into another calculation.
Under the venue’s convention, a positive funding rate means long positions pay short positions; a negative rate reverses that direction. It does not describe whether the market price rose or fell. Your own cash payment also depends on the eligible position and venue rules, so the displayed historical rate is not a cash entry in your ledger.
3. Keep settlement time separate from capture and interval length
Each row keeps the original settlement timestamp, including milliseconds. Datisto’s capture time says when the source document was received. Neither timestamp establishes when the exchange first published that row. Open a rate’s Passport to inspect its original value, source and recorded clocks.
Funding intervals can change. A currently captured interval setting cannot establish the duration used by every historical rate. A gap between two reported timestamps is not, by itself, a verified charged period. This workflow leaves historical interval duration unknown and does not multiply a rate into an annualized yield or sum rates into a payment.
4. Verify, preserve and return to the same analysis
The graph, paged table and exports use one admitted result. Paging changes only the visible rows. JSON and CSV download the original result with its declared units and provenance; they do not silently turn source ratios into displayed percentages. An expired review may require fresh verification before another read.
This is a guide to Datisto. Private features require sign-in and access to your own data. Personal models use your assumptions; availability and permitted use of source data are checked with the particular result. This is not investment advice.
