Question 1

Which exchange has the highest ESPORTS funding rate right now?

Accepted Answer

Binance Futures shows the highest ESPORTS funding at +101.55% annualized. A high positive rate means shorts get paid, so this is the venue to short ESPORTS 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 ESPORTS for funding?

Accepted Answer

Hotcoin has the lowest ESPORTS funding at +10.30% 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 ESPORTS funding-arbitrage pair?

Accepted Answer

The widest spread is long Hotcoin / short Binance Futures at about 91.3% APR before costs. Verify it in the ORBIT backtester, which subtracts real fees and slippage, before sizing a position.

Question 4

How often does ESPORTS funding settle?

Accepted Answer

ESPORTS 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 ESPORTS funding positive or negative?

Accepted Answer

ESPORTS funding is currently positive across venues (longs pay shorts), ranging +10.30% to +101.55% APR.

Question 6

What is the current ESPORTS perpetual swap funding rate?

Accepted Answer

The current ESPORTS perpetual swap funding rate ranges from +10.30% to +101.55% annualized depending on the exchange — Hotcoin is lowest and Binance Futures is highest right now. There is no single ESPORTS 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 ESPORTS funding rate across exchanges?

Accepted Answer

Aggregated across the 13 venues ORBIT tracks, ESPORTS funding currently spans +10.30% to +101.55% APR, a spread of 91.3 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 ESPORTS 8h funding rate versus the annualized rate?

Accepted Answer

ESPORTS 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.
