Question 1

Which exchange has the highest ALPINE funding rate right now?

Accepted Answer

Gate.io shows the highest ALPINE funding at +37.69% annualized. A high positive rate means shorts get paid, so this is the venue to short ALPINE when running a funding-arbitrage pair. Rates change every settlement window — check the live screener for the current value.

Question 2

Which exchange is best to long ALPINE for funding?

Accepted Answer

LBank has the lowest ALPINE funding at +10.96% annualized, which makes the long leg cheapest (or paid). Pair it with the highest-funding venue to capture the spread delta-neutral.

Question 3

What is the best ALPINE funding-arbitrage pair?

Accepted Answer

The widest spread is long Binance Futures / short Gate.io at about 26.7% APR before costs. Verify it in the ORBIT backtester, which subtracts real fees and slippage, before sizing a position.

Question 4

How often does ALPINE funding settle?

Accepted Answer

ALPINE funding settles on different schedules by venue (4h, 8h). Longer intervals concentrate the same annualized rate into fewer, larger payments. ORBIT normalizes every venue to a common APR so they are directly comparable.

Question 5

Is ALPINE funding positive or negative?

Accepted Answer

ALPINE funding is currently positive across venues (longs pay shorts), ranging +10.96% to +37.69% APR.

Question 6

What is the current ALPINE perpetual swap funding rate?

Accepted Answer

The current ALPINE perpetual swap funding rate ranges from +10.96% to +37.69% annualized depending on the exchange — LBank is lowest and Gate.io is highest right now. There is no single ALPINE 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.

Question 7

What is the aggregated ALPINE funding rate across exchanges?

Accepted Answer

Aggregated across the 11 venues ORBIT tracks, ALPINE funding currently spans +10.96% to +37.69% APR, a spread of 26.7 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.

Question 8

How do I read the ALPINE 8h funding rate versus the annualized rate?

Accepted Answer

Venues that settle ALPINE every 8 hours quote the per-payment rate, which is charged three times a day. Multiply an 8h rate by 3 to get the daily figure and by 1,095 to annualize it. ORBIT converts every venue — 1h, 4h and 8h alike — to a common APR so an 8h rate and a 1h rate can be compared directly.
