The long leg is whichever venue prices funding lower for that market. It is a property of the MARKET, not of the exchange, and it flips as rates move: here 25 markets go long on Binance and 8 on HTX. 27 markets clear 5% net APR, 18 clear 10%.

How this pair behaves

Binance pays funding every 4h on 300 markets and every 8h on 89 markets; HTX pays every 8h on 70 markets and every 4h on 55 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 396 perpetual markets in total and HTX quotes 127; the 33 they share are what this page ranks. Across its own book Binance runs a median funding rate of 7.8% and HTX 10.9%, so the edge here comes from individual markets rather than from a standing gap between the venues.

33 markets between these two venues · 27 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.

Trading the Binance / HTX spread

The trade is one position split across two venues: long the exchange paying the more negative funding, short the one paying the more positive, in the same size. What limits it is not the headline APR but the smaller leg's liquidity, the fees on both sides, and how long the spread survives — funding decays and flips, often within hours.
