What the ESP funding rate means
What ESP (Espresso) actually paid over the last 30 days: 3,678 settlements across 17 venues, broken down venue by venue. These are settled payments — the amount an exchange actually charged or credited each funding interval — not the rate currently quoted for the next payment. KuCoin paid the most over the window at +0.2555% of position size.
A funding rate quoted right now is a forecast of the next payment; what a position actually earned is the sum of payments that already settled. Two venues can quote a similar rate and still pay very differently over a month, because they settle on different schedules and compute the rate from their own order book rather than a shared index. The rate was positive in 81% of the 3,678 settlements recorded here, meaning longs paid shorts that often.
Over the window, settled totals ranged from +0.2555% on KuCoin to -2.0888% on Crypto.com — the gap between them is what a delta-neutral position collecting on both legs would have captured before fees and slippage. Verify the live version of this spread on the ORBIT funding screener before sizing a trade: settled history shows what already happened, not what will happen next.
