EntropyIO vs trade.xyz Funding Arbitrage
3 shared markets · net of estimated fees · updated every few minutesEntropyIO and trade.xyz both quote 3 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 DRAM — long EntropyIO / short trade.xyz at 132.4% net APR — but the median across all shared markets is 74.6%, 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 3 markets go long on EntropyIO and 0 on trade.xyz. 2 markets clear 5% net APR, 2 clear 10%.
How this pair behaves
EntropyIO pays funding every 1h on 10 markets; trade.xyz pays every 1h on 88 markets. Both sides settle on the same clock, so a position opened here collects or pays on both legs at once — the spread you see is the spread you get. EntropyIO quotes 10 perpetual markets in total and trade.xyz quotes 88; the 3 they share are what this page ranks. Across its own book EntropyIO runs a median funding rate of 17.3% and trade.xyz 2.4%, so the edge here comes from individual markets rather than from a standing gap between the venues.
Spreads by market
top 3 of 3 by net APR| Market | Long | Short | Net APR | Gross | 7d avg | Thin leg vol |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DRAM | EntropyIO | trade.xyz | 132.4% | 137.5% | +1.6% | $2.9M |
| NBIS | EntropyIO | trade.xyz | 74.6% | 79.1% | -2.4% | $5.5M |
| SNDK | EntropyIO | trade.xyz | 1.3% | 5.0% | — | $72.1M |
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.
Coverage note: EntropyIO and trade.xyz share 3 markets, 3 of them with real depth — below the 10 markets / 5 liquid this page treats as full coverage, so this is a thin sample rather than a picture of the pair.

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.
