How this pair behaves

Extended pays funding every 1h on 155 markets; Sodex pays every 1h on 35 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. Extended quotes 155 perpetual markets in total and Sodex quotes 35; the 11 they share are what this page ranks. Across its own book Extended runs a median funding rate of 5.3% and Sodex 5.5%, so the edge here comes from individual markets rather than from a standing gap between the venues.

11 markets between these two venues · 8 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 Extended / Sodex 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.
