Binance BTCUSDT perpetual funding
1Structure
What kind of credit this is. Attributes, not scores — one column per structural property, factual values only, each with the contract, document or filing establishing it. Nothing here is ranked or weighted.
Oracle dependency what price the loan depends on, if any | multiple Binance USDⓈ-M futures index price — a composite of BTC spot prices across several external venues, used for the mark price and the premium index that funding is computed from. |
Liquidation what happens when collateral falls | not applicable Not applicable: no loan and no borrower exists. Funding is a periodic payment between long and short holders of the swap. Positions are margin-called and auto-deleveraged, which is a different object from the liquidation of a collateralised loan and is not comparable in this column. |
Term whether the loan has an end date | open-ended Binance BTCUSDT perpetual — no expiry. This is the defining property of a perpetual and is why it maps to the open-ended side of the credit surface rather than the tenor axis (v2 §4.2). |
Rate certainty whether the rate can move after origination | variable Binance BTCUSDT perpetual — the funding rate is recomputed each 8-hour interval from the premium index and an interest-rate component, and is clamped to a cap. Nothing is fixed in advance. |
Rate mechanism how the rate is set | derivative-implied Binance funding rate methodology — premium index plus interest component, clamped: derivative_implied per v1 §8.2. The financing rate is inferred from a traded spread, not quoted by a lender. |
Custody who holds the collateral | third-party custodial Binance holds all margin. Positions and collateral are exchange-internal balances, not on-chain, and are not independently verifiable by this project — which is also why the quantity and composition axes are declared unobtainable for this venue. |
Collateral what secures the borrowing | not applicable Not applicable: no collateral is posted against a loan. Margin backing a swap position is USDT, and treating it as loan collateral would put a margin balance in a column about what secures borrowing. |
Recourse whether liability stops at the collateral | not applicable Not applicable: no loan exists. A negative account balance is absorbed by Binance's insurance fund and, failing that, auto-deleveraging — a counterparty arrangement between exchange users, not recourse against a borrower. |
2Rates
What it costs to borrow here, and what it pays to lend, both sides never conflated. Rates are normalised to a continuously compounded annual figure so venues quoting four different ways are comparable.
3Quantity
Collateral locked and debt outstanding, and the origination, repayment and net flow behind them.
4Composition
Who owes it and on what terms: LTV distribution, how long positions actually reside, position-size concentration, and liquidation incidence by origination-LTV cohort.
5Markets
The individual markets this venue runs in scope. A venue is usually a family — one row per (collateral representation, debt asset, chain).
6Funding and basis
Specific to how this venue sets its rate — derivative-implied. Every venue of the same mechanism class gets the same panel.
