Hyperliquid and KuCoin both quote 100 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 SOXL — long Hyperliquid / short KuCoin at 119.0% net APR — but the median across all shared markets is 20.5%, 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 44 markets go long on Hyperliquid and 56 on KuCoin. 80 markets clear 5% net APR, 67 clear 10%.

Hyperliquid pays funding every 1h on 223 markets; KuCoin pays every 4h on 225 markets and every 8h on 179 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. Hyperliquid quotes 223 perpetual markets in total and KuCoin quotes 405; the 100 they share are what this page ranks. Across its own book Hyperliquid runs a median funding rate of 10.9% and KuCoin 10.9%, 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.
