Methodology

Source: public Bitfinex daily funding candles (trade:1D, 2-day tenor) for fUSD, fUST and fBTC. Average APR is the mean of daily closes annualized (×365); high/low use the day extremes; a “spike day” is any day whose high reached at least 1.5× the month’s median close. All rates are gross — Bitfinex keeps 15% of earned interest, so multiply by 0.85 for net. Data is exchange-reported and may be revised; this page regenerates with each site build.
