Question 1

Which exchange has the highest ARC funding rate right now?

Accepted Answer

Crypto.com shows the highest ARC funding at +329.28% annualized. A high positive rate means shorts get paid, so this is the venue to short ARC 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 ARC for funding?

Accepted Answer

Lighter has the lowest ARC funding at +10.52% 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 ARC funding-arbitrage pair?

Accepted Answer

The widest spread is long Lighter / short Crypto.com at about 318.8% APR before costs. Verify it in the ORBIT backtester, which subtracts real fees and slippage, before sizing a position.

Question 4

How often does ARC funding settle?

Accepted Answer

ARC 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.

Question 5

Is ARC funding positive or negative?

Accepted Answer

ARC funding is currently positive across venues (longs pay shorts), ranging +10.52% to +329.28% APR.

Question 6

What is the current ARC perpetual swap funding rate?

Accepted Answer

The current ARC perpetual swap funding rate ranges from +10.52% to +329.28% annualized depending on the exchange — Lighter is lowest and Crypto.com is highest right now. There is no single ARC 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 ARC funding rate across exchanges?

Accepted Answer

Aggregated across the 15 venues ORBIT tracks, ARC funding currently spans +10.52% to +329.28% APR, a spread of 318.8 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 ARC 8h funding rate versus the annualized rate?

Accepted Answer

ARC 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.
