SLP (Smooth Love Potion) perpetual futures funding rates — also called perpetual swap funding rates — are aggregated live by exchange across 13 venues on ORBIT. Funding is the recurring payment exchanged between long and short traders that keeps a perpetual swap tethered to the spot price — when it is positive, longs pay shorts; when negative, shorts pay longs. Right now SLP funding ranges from +10.96% annualized on LBank to +41.86% on BingX.
The widest cross-exchange funding spread for SLP is currently 30.9% APR. A delta-neutral funding trade captures this gap by going long on Binance Futures — where funding is lowest, so the long leg is paid or pays the least — and short on BingX, where funding is highest, so the short leg collects. Because the two legs are equal and opposite, the asset's price moves cancel out and what is left is the funding spread. ORBIT's backtester replays the real funding history of both legs and subtracts live taker fees and order-book slippage, so the result is net PnL, not a headline number.
SLP ranks #583 by open interest among tracked perpetual assets, total open interest across covered venues is $5.7M, 24h volume is $3.1M, the volume-weighted mark price is $0.0007. Deeper liquidity means a funding spread can be traded at larger size with lower slippage — use the Min OI filter on the screener to surface only markets you can realistically enter and exit.
Frequently asked questions
- Which exchange has the highest SLP funding rate right now?
- BingX shows the highest SLP funding at +41.86% annualized. A high positive rate means shorts get paid, so this is the venue to short SLP when running a funding-arbitrage pair. Rates change every settlement window — check the live screener for the current value.
- Which exchange is best to long SLP for funding?
- LBank has the lowest SLP 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.
- What is the best SLP funding-arbitrage pair?
- The widest spread is long Binance Futures / short BingX at about 30.9% APR before costs. Verify it in the ORBIT backtester, which subtracts real fees and slippage, before sizing a position.
- How often does SLP funding settle?
- SLP funding settles on different schedules by venue (4h, 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.
- Is SLP funding positive or negative?
- SLP funding is currently positive across venues (longs pay shorts), ranging +10.96% to +41.86% APR.
- What is the current SLP perpetual swap funding rate?
- The current SLP perpetual swap funding rate ranges from +10.96% to +41.86% annualized depending on the exchange — LBank is lowest and BingX is highest right now. There is no single SLP 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.
- What is the aggregated SLP funding rate across exchanges?
- Aggregated across the 13 venues ORBIT tracks, SLP funding currently spans +10.96% to +41.86% APR, a spread of 30.9 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.
- How do I read the SLP 8h funding rate versus the annualized rate?
- Venues that settle SLP 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.
