The annual rate OKX's lenders earn lending USDT, BTC and ETH to margin borrowers, hour by hour.

Why use it. Borrow rates are the price of leverage outside futures: USDT rates rise when traders borrow dollars to buy, BTC and ETH rates when they borrow coins to sell short. How to read it. Each line is one currency, in percent a year. Compare the USDT rate with perpetual funding: both rise in leveraged rallies.

Calculation. OKX's published hourly lending rate for each currency (its lending-rate history), in percent a year. A period's value is its last reading; the summary value is the USDT rate.
