AERO (Aerodrome Finance) perpetual futures funding rates — also called perpetual swap funding rates — are aggregated live by exchange across 28 venues on ORBIT. Funding is the recurring payment exchanged between long and short traders that keeps a perpetual swap tethered to the spot price — when it is positive, longs pay shorts; when negative, shorts pay longs. Right now AERO funding ranges from +10.96% annualized on Ventuals to +1291.23% on Coinbase International.
The widest cross-exchange funding spread for AERO is currently 1280.3% APR. A delta-neutral funding trade captures this gap by going long on Binance Futures — where funding is lowest, so the long leg is paid or pays the least — and short on Coinbase International, where funding is highest, so the short leg collects. Because the two legs are equal and opposite, the asset's price moves cancel out and what is left is the funding spread. ORBIT's backtester replays the real funding history of both legs and subtracts live taker fees and order-book slippage, so the result is net PnL, not a headline number.
AERO ranks #72 by open interest among tracked perpetual assets, total open interest across covered venues is $158.8M, 24h volume is $95.2M, the volume-weighted mark price is $0.818. Deeper liquidity means a funding spread can be traded at larger size with lower slippage — use the Min OI filter on the screener to surface only markets you can realistically enter and exit.

- What is the best AERO funding-arbitrage pair?

- How often does AERO funding settle?
- AERO funding settles on different schedules by venue (1h, 4h). Longer intervals concentrate the same annualized rate into fewer, larger payments. ORBIT normalizes every venue to a common APR so they are directly comparable.
- Is AERO funding positive or negative?
- AERO funding is currently positive across venues (longs pay shorts), ranging +10.96% to +1291.23% APR.
- What is the current AERO perpetual swap funding rate?
- The current AERO perpetual swap funding rate ranges from +10.96% to +1291.23% annualized depending on the exchange — Ventuals is lowest and Coinbase International is highest right now. There is no single AERO funding rate: every venue runs its own funding formula and order book, which is why the rate has to be read by exchange rather than as one number.
- What is the aggregated AERO funding rate across exchanges?
- Aggregated across the 28 venues ORBIT tracks, AERO funding currently spans +10.96% to +1291.23% APR, a spread of 1280.3 percentage points. An aggregated average hides the part that matters for trading — the gap between the cheapest and dearest venue — so the table above lists each exchange separately.
- How do I read the AERO 8h funding rate versus the annualized rate?
- AERO does not settle on an 8-hour schedule on the venues tracked here. Because intervals differ by exchange, comparing raw per-payment rates is misleading; ORBIT normalizes each venue to annualized APR so the numbers are directly comparable.
