They facilitate fund transfers between long and short traders—exchanges do not collect this fee. The rate adjusts traders’ holding costs or profits to keep contract prices close to underlying asset prices. - A 0.01% rate is the baseline. - Rates above 0.01% signal a generally bullish market. - Rates below 0.005% signal a generally bearish market.
