Question 1

Which exchange has the highest GUA funding rate right now?

Accepted Answer

Aster shows the highest GUA funding at +32.70% annualized. A high positive rate means shorts get paid, so this is the venue to short GUA 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 GUA for funding?

Accepted Answer

Variational has the lowest GUA 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 GUA funding-arbitrage pair?

Accepted Answer

The widest spread is long Gate.io / short Aster at about 21.7% APR before costs. Verify it in the ORBIT backtester, which subtracts real fees and slippage, before sizing a position.

Question 4

How often does GUA funding settle?

Accepted Answer

GUA 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 GUA funding positive or negative?

Accepted Answer

GUA funding is currently positive across venues (longs pay shorts), ranging +10.96% to +32.70% APR.

Question 6

What is the current GUA perpetual swap funding rate?

Accepted Answer

The current GUA perpetual swap funding rate ranges from +10.96% to +32.70% annualized depending on the exchange — Variational is lowest and Aster is highest right now. There is no single GUA 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 GUA funding rate across exchanges?

Accepted Answer

Aggregated across the 13 venues ORBIT tracks, GUA funding currently spans +10.96% to +32.70% APR, a spread of 21.7 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 GUA 8h funding rate versus the annualized rate?

Accepted Answer

GUA 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.
