How Does a High Trading Volume Affect the Stability of the Funding Rate?

High trading volume generally leads to a more stable funding rate, as it indicates higher liquidity and more efficient arbitrage activity. Increased arbitrage ensures that any significant deviation between the contract price and the Index Price is quickly corrected, preventing the funding rate from spiking to extreme levels.

Low volume can allow the rate to become more volatile.
