Right now Gate.io pays +0.01% per settlement and Kraken pays -0.0484% — that gap is what a funding-arbitrage position captures.
Right now 15 of the 16 API3 contracts carry a positive rate and the rest are negative. The sign itself differs by venue, which is the cleanest setup for a funding trade: collect on one leg instead of merely paying less on it.
Over the last 30 days the most API3 funding accumulated on Kraken, at +2.69% — worth checking against the current rate, because the leader on accumulated funding is often not the leader today.
