It is a mechanism for fund exchanges between long and short traders, and the trading platform does not charge this fee. It is used to adjust the cost or profit of holding a contract by traders to keep the contract price close to the underlying asset price. When the funding rate is 0.01%, it represents the baseline rate. When the funding rate is greater than 0.01%, it indicates a generally bullish market. When the funding rate is less than 0.005%, it indicates a generally bearish market.
