Funding rate Waves
Funding is a payment between longs and shorts. Positive: longs pay shorts (bullish market), negative: shorts pay longs. Settlement intervals differ between venues, so each rate is shown alongside its 8-hour equivalent — the only form in which venues are comparable. The annualized figure assumes the current rate persists — arithmetic, not a forecast.

Positive open interest increases over the last 7 days, bucketed by the price of the hour they occurred in. It shows where leverage was added, not where anyone gets liquidated: the side of the position is absent from this data. Most was built around 0.22532500. Built by: KuCoin 51%, MEXC 25%, Bybit 24%.
The snapshot is taken on the hour boundary, so a weekly map is 168 points, not a continuous series. A bucket price is the price of the hour, not of each trade inside it. Position closures are not included.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the current price of Waves (WAVES)?
- Waves (WAVES) is currently trading at $0.2127 USDT. The price updates every minute and is aggregated across the major crypto exchanges — Binance, Bybit, OKX, KuCoin, Bitget, BingX, MEXC, HTX, Gate.io and Hyperliquid — which removes single-venue outliers and gives a stable reference price you can use for alerts and cross-exchange comparison.
- Where is WAVES traded?
- Waves (WAVES) is currently tracked across 6 exchanges: Bybit, KuCoin, Bitget, HTX, MEXC, Gate — both USDT-M perpetual futures and USDT spot pairs where available. Data refreshes every minute, and each venue feeds the aggregated metrics (price, turnover, open interest, funding).
- What is the WAVES funding rate now?
- Average WAVES funding across 3 exchanges is +0.0100% — longs are paying shorts. Funding is a periodic payment between perpetual-contract sides that pins the perp price to spot; it is charged every 8 hours on most venues (some run 4-hour or 1-hour cycles). A positive rate means long positioning is dominant; sustained readings above +0.05% historically signal long-side overcrowding and frequently precede a long-squeeze — a sharp reversal as longs get force-liquidated.
- What is the WAVES open interest now?
- Total WAVES open interest across our tracked venues is 5.9M (~$1.26M in USD). Open interest is the aggregate notional of unsettled futures contracts (each contract is one long + one short, counted once). Rising OI with rising price confirms fresh money entering and trend strength; rising OI with falling price points to aggressive short build-up; falling OI signals position unwinding and weakening momentum. Watch OI live in the dashboard or set an OI-spike alert below.
- How can I get an alert on WAVES price, OI or funding moves?
- JustScreener scans all 5,400+ coins on 10 exchanges every 60 seconds — there is no list of coins to configure. For price, OI or volume alerts use the Custom Screener; for funding — the Funding Screener. A Telegram or push notification fires the moment a rule triggers.
