Right now Aster pays +0.01% per settlement and Gate.io pays -0.017% — that gap is what a funding-arbitrage position captures.
Right now 2 of the 11 USDC 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 USDC funding accumulated on Aster, at +0.90% — worth checking against the current rate, because the leader on accumulated funding is often not the leader today.

What is the USDC funding rate right now?
USDC funding currently ranges from +0.01% on Aster down to -0.017% on Gate.io 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 USDC funding?
At the moment Aster shows the highest USDC funding rate. This changes at every settlement, so trust the live ranking above rather than any fixed answer.
How do you trade the USDC 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 USDC that difference is currently 0.027% per settlement, before the trading fees on both legs.
