# GLD funding rate history — settled payments by exchange

Source: https://orbitperpscreener.com/markets/asset/GLD/funding · window: last 30 days · generated 2026-10-16T05:30 UTC

What GLD (SPDR Gold Shares (GLD)) actually paid over the last 30 days: 980 settlements across 4 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. Arcus paid the most over the window at +1.5714% 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 78% of the 980 settlements recorded here, meaning longs paid shorts that often.

Over the window, settled totals ranged from +1.5714% on Arcus to -0.0206% on MEXC — the gap between them is what a delta-neutral position collecting on both legs would have captured before fees and slippage.

## FAQ

### Is the GLD funding rate a live quote or an actual payment?

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 78% of the 980 settlements recorded here.

### Which exchange has paid the most settled GLD funding recently?

Arcus paid the most over the last 30 days at +1.5714% of position size across 720 settlements, an average annualized rate of +19.13%. This is a sum of actual payments, not a forecast.

### How often is GLD funding actually paid?

Over the last 30 days, ORBIT recorded 980 funding settlements for GLD across 4 venues. Settlement schedules differ by venue — some pay hourly, others every 4 or 8 hours — so the number of payments per venue in the table above is not the same for all of them.

### What is the widest settled GLD funding spread between venues?

Over the last 30 days, settled totals ranged from +1.5714% on Arcus to -0.0206% on MEXC. That gap is what a position holding both legs — long on the venue that paid least, short on the one that paid most — would have collected before fees and slippage. Check the current spread on the live screener, since settled history describes the past, not the next payment.
