Question 1

Which exchange has the highest TQQQ funding rate right now?

Accepted Answer

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

Accepted Answer

grvt has the lowest TQQQ funding at +0.00% 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 TQQQ funding-arbitrage pair?

Accepted Answer

The widest spread is long Bybit / short KuCoin at about 11.0% APR before costs. Verify it in the ORBIT backtester, which subtracts real fees and slippage, before sizing a position.

Question 4

How often does TQQQ funding settle?

Accepted Answer

TQQQ 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 TQQQ funding positive or negative?

Accepted Answer

TQQQ funding is mixed across venues, ranging +0.00% to +10.96% APR — which is exactly what creates the cross-exchange arbitrage opportunity.

Question 6

What is the current TQQQ perpetual swap funding rate?

Accepted Answer

The current TQQQ perpetual swap funding rate ranges from +0.00% to +10.96% annualized depending on the exchange — grvt is lowest and KuCoin is highest right now. There is no single TQQQ 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 TQQQ funding rate across exchanges?

Accepted Answer

Aggregated across the 15 venues ORBIT tracks, TQQQ funding currently spans +0.00% to +10.96% APR, a spread of 11.0 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 TQQQ 8h funding rate versus the annualized rate?

Accepted Answer

Venues that settle TQQQ 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.
