Right now Phemex pays +0.0289% per settlement and Kraken pays -0.0097% — that gap is what a funding-arbitrage position captures.
Right now 21 of the 23 LINK 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 LINK funding accumulated on XT.com, at +2.27% — worth checking against the current rate, because the leader on accumulated funding is often not the leader today.
LINK also trades as an inverse, coin-margined contract on Aster, Binance, BingX, Bitget, BloFin, Bybit, MEXC, OKX. Inverse funding is quoted against a USD-denominated contract and settles in LINK itself, so it moves independently of the USDT-margined rate above.

FLOKIFrequently asked questions
What is the LINK funding rate right now?
LINK funding currently ranges from +0.0289% on Phemex down to -0.0097% on Kraken per settlement — the table above lists every venue. A positive rate means long positions pay short positions at the next settlement; a negative rate means the reverse.
Which exchange pays the highest LINK funding?
At the moment Phemex shows the highest LINK funding rate. This changes at every settlement, so trust the live ranking above rather than any fixed answer.
How do you trade the LINK funding difference?
You hold offsetting positions on two venues — long where funding is negative, short where it is positive — so price exposure cancels out and you collect the difference at each settlement. On LINK that difference is currently 0.039% per settlement, before the trading fees on both legs.
