Question 1

Which exchange has the highest IOTA funding rate right now?

Accepted Answer

BloFin shows the highest IOTA funding at +24.11% annualized. A high positive rate means shorts get paid, so this is the venue to short IOTA 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 IOTA for funding?

Accepted Answer

Ventuals has the lowest IOTA 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 IOTA funding-arbitrage pair?

Accepted Answer

The widest spread is long Binance Futures / short BloFin at about 13.2% APR before costs. Verify it in the ORBIT backtester, which subtracts real fees and slippage, before sizing a position.

Question 4

How often does IOTA funding settle?

Accepted Answer

IOTA funding settles on different schedules by venue (1h, 8h). 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 IOTA funding positive or negative?

Accepted Answer

IOTA funding is currently positive across venues (longs pay shorts), ranging +10.96% to +24.11% APR.

Question 6

What is the current IOTA perpetual swap funding rate?

Accepted Answer

The current IOTA perpetual swap funding rate ranges from +10.96% to +24.11% annualized depending on the exchange — Ventuals is lowest and BloFin is highest right now. There is no single IOTA 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 IOTA funding rate across exchanges?

Accepted Answer

Aggregated across the 21 venues ORBIT tracks, IOTA funding currently spans +10.96% to +24.11% APR, a spread of 13.2 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 IOTA 8h funding rate versus the annualized rate?

Accepted Answer

Venues that settle IOTA every 8 hours quote the per-payment rate, which is charged three times a day. Multiply an 8h rate by 3 to get the daily figure and by 1,095 to annualize it. ORBIT converts every venue — 1h, 4h and 8h alike — to a common APR so an 8h rate and a 1h rate can be compared directly.
