The USOIL listing marks another step in bringing traditional commodities to onchain markets. Traders can now hedge against oil price volatility, even outside standard trading hours.
The move builds on Markets’ earlier tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), including USBOND and the USOR token launched in January 2026 for direct US oil-reserve tokens exposure.
USOIL is a perpetual contract with no expiry dates, which can be held forever. To keep prices in line with the US oil-market onchain, a funding rate system is used by the exchange.
Positive funding rates: Long traders pay Shorts, a common scenario seen in bullish sentiments.
Negative funding rates: Short traders pay longs. This is common during the bearish sentiments.
Investment on the Hyperliquid platform, where the Markets.xyz website is located, is done on an hourly basis and is derived from an 8-hour base rate. The base rate of the coin is 5% on an annual basis.
Going long on the token: You pay funding in bullish oil market, similar to a borrowing cost.
Going short on the token: You may earn funding if the market is bullish.
Traders can monitor live financing rates via Markets.xyz’s dashboard to manage positions effectively.
