Funding fee mechanism
At OKX, our perpetual futures adopt a funding fee mechanism designed to align the market price of the perpetual market with the index price. When the funding rate is positive, traders with long positions pay a funding fee to traders with short positions. Conversely, when the funding rate is negative, traders with short positions pay a funding fee to traders with long positions.Published on 21 Dec 2020Updated on 20 Mar 2026Product documentationUnderstanding OKX's Security Fund
