How often does OKX pay funding?

Every 8 hours on most perpetual swaps, so a rate shown here is per funding period, not per day. Positive means longs pay shorts.

Is this the predicted rate or the settled one?

It’s the rate the venue showed at the end of the latest 5-minute bar, so until the next settlement it’s the predicted rate. The table runs 15 minutes behind the venue and refreshes every 5 minutes.

Where can I get OKX funding rate history?

OKX’s funding rate history endpoint returns up to three months, per its API docs. Aperiodic’s funding dataset has the rate per bar from 1 minute, with how often it updated, from 2019 on Prime and 5 years on Pro.

Why is open interest in dollars?

So that contracts of different sizes add up. The 24-hour change is in contracts wherever the venue reports a count at both ends, so a falling price doesn’t look like positions closing.

Funding history for backtests

We have funding, open interest and basis history for every perp on this page, going back to 2019.

The funding dataset records the rate as the venue published it at each moment, in 1-minute to daily bars, along with how often it updated. A backtest built on it only sees what a live strategy could have seen. Bars are timestamped by the exchange or by when the update reached us, and we never recalculate one after publishing it. Open interest and basis work the same way.

Pro keeps 5 years of history and Prime keeps all of it, including delisted perps (pricing). A free account gets every metric for 2025 on BTC, ETH, SOL and 10 RWA perps, funding included, so you can backtest on real history before you pay (funding dataset).
