What the funding rate on THETA means
A perpetual future on THETA has no expiry, so venues use a funding payment to keep its price tied to spot. When the perp trades above spot, longs pay shorts; when it trades below, shorts pay longs. The rate shown per venue is the share of position size paid at each settlement, and the APR is that share annualised over the venue's own interval. Venues settle THETA on different schedules: 1h, 8h.
Because every venue computes its own rate from its own order book, the same asset can pay very differently in the same hour. The "paid" columns show what was actually settled rather than what is quoted now, which is the honest way to judge whether a THETA position earned or cost money.
