How this pair behaves

Bybit pays funding every 8h on 245 markets and every 4h on 198 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. Bybit quotes 445 perpetual markets in total and Extended quotes 153; the 67 they share are what this page ranks. Across its own book Bybit runs a median funding rate of 10.9% and Extended 5.3%, so the edge here comes from individual markets rather than from a standing gap between the venues.

67 markets between these two venues · 50 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 Bybit / Extended 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.
