How do I calculate borrowing interest?
When engaging in margin trading under a unified trading account, if a liability is incurred, interest will accrue, and there is no interest-free quota.
However, in unified trading account futures trading, unrealized profits and losses generated in a multi-currency mode have an interest-free quota. Liabilities within this limit do not incur interest. If the liability exceeds the interest-free quota, interest will be charged on the amount that exceeds it. Liabilities generated under cross margin and isolated margin will be calculated and deducted separately.

2. Interest calculation and deduction
Interest calculation time: Recorded every hour on the hour.
Interest deduction time: Recorded every hour on the hour.
Debts incurred under cross-margin and isolated-margin positions will accrue interest and be deducted separately for each margin type.
Interest on borrowed funds is calculated based on the customer's interest-bearing liability and is recorded every hour on the hour, starting from 0:00. For example, if a customer borrows crypto at 22:55, no interest is recorded at that time. At 23:00, the customer's interest is calculated based on the interest-bearing liability, and the interest is deducted at 23:00. If the customer repays the borrowed cryptos at 22:57, that borrowing will not incur any interest.
3. Interest rate
Account tier and daily interest rates for each cryptocurrency can be viewed in the app:
Account tier: Go to the top left corner of the Homepage, select Profile > My fee tier
Loan rate: Top right corner of the Trading page, Market info > Leverage lending.
Whenever a liability is generated, regardless of the type of transaction, the interest is calculated as liability * daily interest rate of the currency / 24 = interest for that hour.
