Question 1

Which exchange has the highest DIA funding rate right now?

Accepted Answer

Bybit shows the highest DIA funding at +10.96% annualized. A high positive rate means shorts get paid, so this is the venue to short DIA 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 DIA for funding?

Accepted Answer

MEXC has the lowest DIA funding at -26.30% 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 DIA funding-arbitrage pair?

Accepted Answer

The widest spread is long MEXC / short Bybit at about 37.3% APR before costs. Verify it in the ORBIT backtester, which subtracts real fees and slippage, before sizing a position.

Question 4

How often does DIA funding settle?

Accepted Answer

DIA funding settles every 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 DIA funding positive or negative?

Accepted Answer

DIA funding is mixed across venues, ranging -26.30% to +10.96% APR — which is exactly what creates the cross-exchange arbitrage opportunity.

Question 6

What is the current DIA perpetual swap funding rate?

Accepted Answer

The current DIA perpetual swap funding rate ranges from -26.30% to +10.96% annualized depending on the exchange — MEXC is lowest and Bybit is highest right now. There is no single DIA 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 DIA funding rate across exchanges?

Accepted Answer

Aggregated across the 10 venues ORBIT tracks, DIA funding currently spans -26.30% to +10.96% APR, a spread of 37.3 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.

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

DIA 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.
