What the XLU funding rate means
What XLU (Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund) actually paid over the last 30 days: 520 settlements across 6 venues, broken down venue by venue. These are settled payments — the amount an exchange actually charged or credited each funding interval — not the rate currently quoted for the next payment. WEEX paid the most over the window at +1.5858% of position size.
A funding rate quoted right now is a forecast of the next payment; what a position actually earned is the sum of payments that already settled. Two venues can quote a similar rate and still pay very differently over a month, because they settle on different schedules and compute the rate from their own order book rather than a shared index. The rate was positive in 16% of the 520 settlements recorded here, meaning longs paid shorts that often.
Over the window, settled totals ranged from +1.5858% on WEEX to +0.0000% on HTX — the gap between them is what a delta-neutral position collecting on both legs would have captured before fees and slippage.
