Question 1

Which exchange has the highest BLEND funding rate right now?

Accepted Answer

Bybit shows the highest BLEND funding at +411.57% annualized. A high positive rate means shorts get paid, so this is the venue to short BLEND 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 BLEND for funding?

Accepted Answer

Hotcoin has the lowest BLEND 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 BLEND funding-arbitrage pair?

Accepted Answer

The widest spread is long Gate.io / short Bybit at about 400.6% APR before costs. Verify it in the ORBIT backtester, which subtracts real fees and slippage, before sizing a position.

Question 4

How often does BLEND funding settle?

Accepted Answer

BLEND 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 BLEND funding positive or negative?

Accepted Answer

BLEND funding is currently positive across venues (longs pay shorts), ranging +10.96% to +411.57% APR.

Question 6

What is the current BLEND perpetual swap funding rate?

Accepted Answer

The current BLEND perpetual swap funding rate ranges from +10.96% to +411.57% annualized depending on the exchange — Hotcoin is lowest and Bybit is highest right now. There is no single BLEND 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 BLEND funding rate across exchanges?

Accepted Answer

Aggregated across the 13 venues ORBIT tracks, BLEND funding currently spans +10.96% to +411.57% APR, a spread of 400.6 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 BLEND 8h funding rate versus the annualized rate?

Accepted Answer

BLEND 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.
