About Merlin Chain Funding Rate

What is the MERL funding rate?

The MERL funding rate is a periodic payment between long and short traders on Merlin Chain perpetual futures, designed to keep the contract price anchored to the spot index. When the rate is positive, longs pay shorts; when negative, shorts pay longs. It is the main ongoing cost (or income) of holding a leveraged MERL perpetual position.

What does a positive or negative MERL funding rate mean?

A persistently positive MERL funding rate signals crowded long positioning and bullish sentiment — longs keep paying to stay in the trade. A negative rate signals short-side dominance and bearish sentiment. Extreme funding rates in either direction often indicate an overcrowded trade and raise the risk of a sharp reversal or short squeeze/long squeeze.

What is the current MERL funding rate?

As of now, the MERL funding rate averages 0.0055% across 13 exchanges CoinBoss tracks, and the rate is positive. This figure updates in real time — check the table above for the latest per-exchange breakdown and the OI-weighted composite rate.

Which exchange has the highest MERL funding rate?

Right now bybit shows the highest (or most extreme) MERL funding rate among tracked exchanges, at 0.0176%. Funding rates can vary meaningfully across exchanges due to differences in order-book premium, index price and leverage demand — creating potential funding rate arbitrage opportunities.
Most exchanges settle funding every 8 hours (00:00 / 08:00 / 16:00 UTC). Actual settlement intervals may vary by exchange and contract.
