How this pair behaves

Binance pays funding every 4h on 233 markets and every 8h on 83 markets; Extended pays every 1h on 153 markets. The two clocks differ, so one leg settles while the other is still accruing: a position held for only a few hours can pay one side without ever collecting from the other. Binance quotes 317 perpetual markets in total and Extended quotes 153; the 22 they share are what this page ranks. Across its own book Binance runs a median funding rate of 8.9% and Extended 5.3%, so the edge here comes from individual markets rather than from a standing gap between the venues.

22 markets between these two venues · 15 at 5%+ net APR

Net APR subtracts entry and exit fees, both legs' bid/ask spread and estimated slippage from the gross funding spread. The 7-day average is historical gross funding for the same pair: a current rate close to it suggests the spread has persisted, one far above it is usually a spike that will decay.
