Celestia (TIA) Funding Rate

Celestia Funding Rate Overview

The Celestia (TIA) perpetual funding rate is a periodic payment exchanged between long and short holders of TIA perpetual futures contracts, designed to keep the perpetual price anchored to the underlying spot price. When TIA funding is positive, longs pay shorts — signalling bullish leveraged crowding. When negative, shorts pay longs — often during a capitulation or heavy hedging flow. Sharpe aggregates TIA funding rates from 13 exchanges with each exchange's rate normalized to annualized APR (APR = rate × 8,760 / interval_hours) so you can directly compare 1-hour rates from Hyperliquid against 8-hour rates from Binance, Bybit, and OKX.

About Celestia Perpetual Funding

Celestia (TIA) perpetual futures clear $80M to $200M OI on Binance, Bybit, OKX, and Bitget. TIA is the pioneer modular data availability (DA) L1, with rollups like Dymension, Manta, Movement using Celestia for DA. TIA funding reflects modular/rollup narrative cycles — funding spikes around rollup mainnet launches and DA usage milestones. Baseline TIA funding runs 0.005% to 0.02% per 8h. TIA has native staking (~14-17% nominal yield) providing strong long structural bias. Large TIA unlocks (Oct 2024 and continuing) produced major short-side pressure throughout late 2024 and early 2025. TIA correlation with DYM, ATOM, and Cosmos ecosystem is high.

How to Read the TIA Funding Rate

TIA funding is modular/rollup narrative beta. Monitor DA blob fees and major rollup launches (Movement, Manta, etc.) as fundamental demand signals. TIA unlock schedule through 2026 creates predictable recurring short pressure — shorting 72h pre-unlock has been consistently profitable. Sustained TIA funding above 0.05% per 8h has preceded narrative peaks. Cross-reference with ATOM and DYM funding for Cosmos ecosystem rotation signals.

TIA Funding Rate Signals

Use the TIA funding rate as three separate signals. First, as a sentiment indicator: persistent 8-hour rates above 0.03% (~33% APR) often precede Celestia corrections as leveraged longs crowd. Second, as a carry opportunity: hold long spot + short perp to collect the funding payment while staying delta-neutral — use Sharpe's arbitrage calculator to size the trade. Third, as a cross-exchange divergence signal: when Binance TIA funding diverges meaningfully from OKX or Hyperliquid, the positioning asymmetry often precedes a volatility expansion. Sharpe's funding rate terminal and leaderboard surface these divergences automatically.

Rankings rotate each settlement window — Sharpe's leaderboard sorts all 5,000+ perpetual pairs across 13 tracked exchanges by current rate or annualized APR.

How is the Celestia funding rate calculated?

Exchange-calculated funding rates combine three inputs: the premium index (TIA perpetual price minus the spot reference index), the interest rate component (typically fixed at 0.01% per 8 hours), and a clamp function that caps the final rate at ±0.375% on most exchanges. The formula is: funding = clamp(premium_index + interest_rate, ±cap). Different exchanges use slightly different index sources, which explains the cross-venue rate differences.

What is the annualized APR on Celestia funding?

APR = rate × (8,760 / interval_hours). For 8-hour funding (Binance, Bybit, OKX), a 0.01% rate annualizes to 10.95% APR. For 1-hour funding (Hyperliquid), the same 0.01% rate annualizes to 87.6% APR. Sharpe's table auto-normalizes every TIA funding rate to APR so you can rank yields across exchanges without manual conversion.

Does Celestia funding rate arbitrage work?

Yes, when rates are high enough to overcome trading fees and execution slippage. The classic trade is long spot TIA + short TIA perp on the same exchange — you earn the funding rate each settlement while staying delta-neutral. Historical BTC and ETH funding rate arbitrage has yielded 10–40% annualized in bull markets. Use Sharpe's arbitrage calculator to size the trade with realistic fee and holding assumptions before execution.

Where does Sharpe get Celestia funding rate data?

Sharpe fetches TIA funding rates via direct REST API calls to each of the 13 supported exchanges — no third-party aggregator dependency. Rates update on each exchange's settlement schedule (every 1 hour for Hyperliquid and dYdX v4, every 8 hours for Binance, Bybit, OKX, and most others). Historical data is stored for trend analysis and accumulated-carry calculations.
