Live Apple (AAPL) Perp Price

The chart shows the AAPL perp price in Solflare Perps over the window you select. A AAPL perpetual futures contract tracks the price of Apple rather than representing ownership of it, so the AAPL perp price sits close to the Apple spot price but rarely matches it exactly. The gap between the two is the basis, and the funding rate is the mechanism that keeps it narrow. The 24-hour change above the chart is the move in the AAPL perp price over the previous day.

Open interest is the notional value of the AAPL perpetual futures positions still open in Solflare Perps. The 24-hour volume is the notional value of AAPL traded over the previous day. The two measure different things: open interest describes exposure that is still held, while volume describes how much changed hands. Neither figure shows on its own whether traders are net long or net short. Maximum leverage is the highest multiple Phoenix Trade allows on AAPL. It is set per market and Phoenix Trade can change it. Higher leverage increases the risk of liquidation.

The AAPL funding rate is a recurring payment between traders holding AAPL perpetual futures positions. A positive rate means traders holding long AAPL positions pay traders holding short positions, and a negative rate means the payment flows the other way. Funding settles every hour on Phoenix Trade, so the 1-hour figure is the one that is charged. The 8-hour, 24-hour and annualized figures are comparison horizons for that same rate, not separate rates and not price forecasts.

What the AAPL funding rate tells you

A positive rate usually means the AAPL perp is trading above the Apple spot price and positioning is skewed towards longs. A negative rate usually means the opposite. It describes what traders are doing now, not what the price will do next.

The size matters as much as the sign. A rate near zero costs little to hold in either direction. A persistently high rate makes the paying side expensive to hold over time, and because funding comes out of your collateral, it moves your liquidation price closer even when the market itself has not moved against you.

AAPL perpetual contract specification

No expiry

Unlike dated futures, a AAPL perpetual futures contract does not expire. A AAPL position remains open until you close it or the position is liquidated.

Contract type

Perpetual futures, no expiry

Quote currency

USD

A AAPL perpetual futures contract has no expiry date, so a AAPL position stays open until you close it or it is liquidated. That is what separates a perpetual contract from a dated futures contract, which settles on a fixed date. The AAPL contract is quoted in USD and margined in USDC, and both the collateral and the position stay on Solana. Funding is exchanged every hour. Phoenix Trade on Solana is the venue for every AAPL perp order placed through Solflare.

How AAPL liquidations use mark price

Phoenix Trade uses the mark price to determine AAPL liquidations. The mark price is an average drawn from the wider market rather than the last AAPL trade printed on the chart, which is why a AAPL liquidation can happen at a price the chart never showed. Each AAPL position uses only the collateral you assign to it, so a liquidation on one position does not draw on your other positions or the rest of your wallet.
