Question 1

Which exchange has the highest RLC funding rate right now?

Accepted Answer

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

Accepted Answer

Bitunix has the lowest RLC funding at -1.31% 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 RLC funding-arbitrage pair?

Accepted Answer

The widest spread is long Bitunix / short Bybit at about 12.3% APR before costs. Verify it in the ORBIT backtester, which subtracts real fees and slippage, before sizing a position.

Question 4

How often does RLC funding settle?

Accepted Answer

RLC funding settles every 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 RLC funding positive or negative?

Accepted Answer

RLC funding is mixed across venues, ranging -1.31% to +10.96% APR — which is exactly what creates the cross-exchange arbitrage opportunity.

Question 6

What is the current RLC perpetual swap funding rate?

Accepted Answer

The current RLC perpetual swap funding rate ranges from -1.31% to +10.96% annualized depending on the exchange — Bitunix is lowest and Bybit is highest right now. There is no single RLC 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 RLC funding rate across exchanges?

Accepted Answer

Aggregated across the 9 venues ORBIT tracks, RLC funding currently spans -1.31% to +10.96% APR, a spread of 12.3 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 RLC 8h funding rate versus the annualized rate?

Accepted Answer

Venues that settle RLC 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.
