Right now HTX pays +0.0997% per settlement and Phemex pays +0% — that gap is what a funding-arbitrage position captures.
Right now 15 of the 16 XAU 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 XAU funding accumulated on BloFin, at +2.38% — worth checking against the current rate, because the leader on accumulated funding is often not the leader today.

ONDOFrequently asked questions
What is the XAU funding rate right now?
XAU funding currently ranges from +0.0997% on HTX down to +0% on Phemex 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 XAU funding?
At the moment HTX shows the highest XAU funding rate. This changes at every settlement, so trust the live ranking above rather than any fixed answer.
How do you trade the XAU 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 XAU that difference is currently 0.1% per settlement, before the trading fees on both legs.
