US (Talus) perpetual futures funding rates — also called perpetual swap funding rates — are aggregated live by exchange across 16 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 US funding ranges from +55.44% annualized on BingX to +339.38% on Aster.
The widest cross-exchange funding spread for US is currently 283.9% APR. A delta-neutral funding trade captures this gap by going long on BingX — where funding is lowest, so the long leg is paid or pays the least — and short on Aster, 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.
US ranks #115 by open interest among tracked perpetual assets, total open interest across covered venues is $57.9M, 24h volume is $233.3M, the volume-weighted mark price is $0.0255. 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 US funding rate right now?
- Aster shows the highest US funding at +339.38% annualized. A high positive rate means shorts get paid, so this is the venue to short US 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 US for funding?
- BingX has the lowest US funding at +55.44% 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 US funding-arbitrage pair?
- The widest spread is long BingX / short Aster at about 283.9% APR before costs. Verify it in the ORBIT backtester, which subtracts real fees and slippage, before sizing a position.
- How often does US funding settle?
- US funding settles on different schedules by venue (1h, 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.
- Is US funding positive or negative?
- US funding is currently positive across venues (longs pay shorts), ranging +55.44% to +339.38% APR.
- What is the current US perpetual swap funding rate?
- The current US perpetual swap funding rate ranges from +55.44% to +339.38% annualized depending on the exchange — BingX is lowest and Aster is highest right now. There is no single US 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 US funding rate across exchanges?
- Aggregated across the 16 venues ORBIT tracks, US funding currently spans +55.44% to +339.38% APR, a spread of 283.9 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 US 8h funding rate versus the annualized rate?
- US 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.
