The last explainer on the funding formula you'll ever need to read. Part of the privilege of designing for the tradfi-native space is getting to examine crypto assumptions and seeing whether they still make sense for tradfi perps. A ‘standard’ perps formula, eg: F = clamp (average_premium, 5ps, default_interest=1bp)/ 8, paid every hour. is probably the least understood thing in crypto, which is bizarre given the volumes that now flow through perps. The aim is to create a formula that allows: >the market to realize its ‘fair’ funding rate in a stable way; >the perp mark price to track the underlier closely. If you don’t know what the ‘fair’ funding is, there are good explainers online, but broadly the perps should pay out (riskfree_rate - dividend_yield)% annualized [for equities], or around 0-3.5% for most US stocks. If flow is very one-sided, the perp price should deviate from the fair, allowing participants to earn risk-free money as it does so, and incentivizing more capital deployment which should move it back in line. Let’s parameterize the formula, and decide how to pick the params: F = clamp(average_premium, C, I) / D, paid every H hours If we pick H=8 and D=1 like Bitmex, say, then an average premium of just 1bp would lead to a whopping 10.95% annualized rate! Given 1bp is around a tick, we can see that this is really unstable. We can counteract this by: >having a ‘clamp’, C. This way short-term deviations around the fair will not contribute. >picking a big value of D. However, if it’s too big, then the perp price will not match the index price for the market to realize its ‘fair’ funding. At @QFEX, recognizing that tradfi funding should be lower than crypto, we chose as attached. Note we kept interest I=0. Picking a value for I has little effect on the market, other than forcing the perp to trade away from the index if the fair market interest rate does not equal I. Since the rate changes over time, the exchange has no business deciding the rate. This is replicated across tradfi exchanges - eg, CME doesn’t hardcode the S&P500 dividend yield into the ES mark formula.
