BingX and Gate.io both quote 165 of the same perpetual markets, so a delta-neutral position can be split across the two and collect the difference in their funding. The widest spread on a market with real depth is APR — long BingX / short Gate.io at 228.0% net APR — but the median across all shared markets is 17.2%, which is the number worth planning around.

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 45 markets go long on BingX and 120 on Gate.io. 145 markets clear 5% net APR, 110 clear 10%.

BingX pays funding every 4h on 249 markets and every 8h on 78 markets; Gate.io pays every 8h on 226 markets and every 4h on 201 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. BingX quotes 329 perpetual markets in total and Gate.io quotes 429; the 165 they share are what this page ranks. Across its own book BingX runs a median funding rate of 10.9% and Gate.io 2.8%, so the edge here comes from individual markets rather than from a standing gap between the venues.

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.
