What does Sui (SUI) funding cost?
Worked example for a $10,000 long held for 1 day and 7 days, using each rate from the table above as if it stayed constant (it will not). Funding is charged on notional, not margin.
| Scenario | 8h rate | 1 day | 7 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Median (9 venues) | 0.0050% | $1.50 paid | $10.50 paid |
| Highest: Hyperliquid | 0.0100% | $3.00 paid | $21.00 paid |
| Lowest: Lighter | -0.0032% | $0.96 received | $6.72 received |
Cross-venue spread idea
In principle a trader could go long where funding is lowest (Lighter) and short where it is highest (Hyperliquid) and collect the difference. At the current rates, $10,000 on each side would be a net $3.96 received per day before costs.
Caveat: this is an illustration, not advice. Real results depend on trading fees, price basis between the two contracts, different settlement intervals (a rate can change before you are paid), margin on both venues, liquidation risk on either leg, and funding changing sign. The funding rate arbitrage scanner ranks these gaps across every asset and explains the risks.

What drives Sui (SUI) funding rates
Sui is a Layer 1 blockchain built on the Move language, and its token behaves like a high-beta altcoin. SUI perps tend to move with broad altcoin sentiment, rising and falling harder than Bitcoin, and funding follows: it climbs when leveraged longs chase rallies and can turn negative in sharp pullbacks when shorts become the crowded side.
Smaller market capitalisation and thinner books than Bitcoin or Ether mean a given amount of leveraged demand moves funding more. There is also less basis-trade capital to arbitrage differences between venues, so the gap between the highest and lowest funding venue is typically wider. That is where the spread statistics and the long-low, short-high idea below come in, with all the caveats that apply.
Chain-specific catalysts include ecosystem launches and DeFi growth on Sui, token unlock schedules, exchange listings, and incentive programs. Unlock events in particular tend to attract short positioning ahead of the date, which can pull funding down.
Because SUI is volatile, funding is only one part of holding cost. A small funding payment can be dwarfed by price moves, so use the cost example as a sense of scale for the carry component, not as a full picture of risk.
Where SUI is listed
SUI is listed on most major centralised exchanges and on the leading on-chain perp venues. Some listings are newer and thinner, which can cause venue-specific funding differences.
LeverUp also lists SUI: its on-chain pool market charges a funding rate plus a per-side holding fee, so long and short costs differ. Trade SUI on LeverUp.
What to watch
What to watch: unlock dates, ecosystem launches and the spread between the highest and lowest venue. Wide spreads on a volatile altcoin are common, but they often come with higher fees and slippage that eat the apparent edge.
Sui (SUI) funding rate FAQ
What is the current SUI funding rate?
At 2026-10-20T09:50:55.415Z UTC the median SUI funding rate across 9 venues is 0.0050% per 8 hours (5.4750% APR), ranging from -0.0032% on Lighter to 0.0100% on Hyperliquid. Positive means longs pay shorts.
Why does SUI funding differ so much between venues?
Thinner liquidity and less arbitrage capital than the large caps allow venue-specific premiums to persist.
What causes negative SUI funding?
Shorts becoming the crowded side, often ahead of token unlocks or during sharp sell-offs, so shorts pay longs.
Is SUI funding comparable to SOL funding?
Both are Layer 1 altcoins and move with altcoin sentiment, but SUI is smaller and generally shows wider dispersion.
