BTCSWP

The Bitcoin funding market on Hyperliquid.

Funding obligations accrue continuously. Historically, hedging this exposure required complex basis baskets or opaque OTC execution. Now, institutions can price and trade the funding rate directly, at its source of formation.

Perpetual futures discover the asset price. Nunchi rates tracking indices isolate the underlying cost of leverage.

Every leveraged market generates a continuous rate. Nunchi engineers the definitive reference indices to measure this cost of capital and delivers the infrastructure to trade it. BTCSWP is the first executable expression: Bitcoin funding, priced and traded directly.

Funding momentum versus its roughly 12.5-hour trend A looping illustration: Bitcoin's funding rate oscillates around its roughly 12.5-hour trend. When funding accelerates above the trend you go long (shown in gold); when it compresses below the trend you go short (shown muted). The crossing is the signal, not the level. ▲ LONG ▼ SHORT BTC funding ┄ expected trend funding, vs expected price it · trade it · hedge it
Long when funding accelerates above its expected trend, short when it compresses — price it, trade it, or hedge it.

WHAT NUNCHI IS · BENCHMARK INFRASTRUCTURE FOR RATE MARKETS

Rates are forming continuously.

Executing the primary benchmark: BTC funding. Index live, perp launching on Hyperliquid.

Every market generates a rate representing the cost of capital over time. Historically, these benchmarks arrived on fixed schedules—quarterly central bank decisions, daily SOFR fixings, or discrete funding epochs. For the first time, the cost of capital is observable in real time, 24/7.

Funding serves as the most precise of these metrics: a live measure of leverage demand, priced moment to moment. This continuous index provides the market's most concrete directional signal, stripping away price action to reveal underlying capital flows.

The price of leverage · BTCSWP launching on Hyperliquid

From price discovery
to rate discovery.

Bitcoin perpetuals continuously discover a funding rate — the price of leverage. Nunchi publishes that rate as a reference rate and lists a perp on it; BTCSWP is the first in the series.
