We call this scanner FBR™ — the Funding Bias Rate crypto funding arbitrage tracker. Use it to compare MEXC, Bitunix and Hyperliquid funding rates and find the strongest current Long and Short combination. Sort every column or open FBR™ — Funding Bias Rate — to review all six exchange directions over the rolling 90-day window. Calculate your ROI ↗

5x–7x is generally the more balanced range for this strategy. Higher leverage leaves less margin buffer and can significantly increase liquidation risk. Net does not change.

Net is the best available short rate minus long rate. APR assumes three 8-hour settlements per day, 6x on each leg and total capital split across both exchanges. It excludes fees, slippage and changing rates. Hyperliquid is estimated from its current hourly prediction.

FUNDING RATE ARBITRAGE STRATEGY

How funding rate arbitrage works

Funding rate arbitrage uses two opposite perpetual futures positions on different exchanges. A trader goes Long where the funding rate is lower and Short where it is higher, aiming to collect the difference while reducing direct exposure to the coin's price movement.

This free funding rate arbitrage scanner monitors MEXC, Bitunix and Hyperliquid. It identifies the highest available Net spread, estimates APR at your selected leverage and checks whether the same Long and Short direction produced positive funding income during the previous 90 days.

READING THE SCANNER

From funding rates
to a research signal.

01

Compare the funding rate

MEXC and Bitunix predictions are compared with an 8-hour estimate built from Hyperliquid's current hourly rate.

02

Calculate Net funding and APR

Net equals the Short exchange rate minus the Long exchange rate. APR annualizes that spread using three funding periods per day, your selected leverage and capital divided across both legs.

03

Check the 90-day FBR™

The Funding Bias Rate measures how often each exchange direction generated a positive funding spread at settlement. Open “Compare all 6” to review every Long and Short combination.

FUNDING BIAS RATE · FBR™

Look beyond today's highest rate.

FBR™ is the percentage of observed settlements in the rolling 90-day window where one Long and Short exchange direction produced a positive funding spread. It helps reveal whether today's direction has been repeatable, rather than appearing only once.

Long MEXC / Short BITUNIX72.0%OKn=268 settlement observations

Positive spread across 72% of settlements over the rolling 90 days. The sample size shows how much evidence supports the FBR™ value. “OK” appears only when the current positive direction matches an FBR™ above 70%.

How to improve decision quality

  1. 01
    Require current alignment

    Use the signal only when today's best Long and Short direction matches the historical direction. A high FBR™ for the opposite direction is not confirmation.

  2. 02
    Prefer a meaningful sample

    Compare the FBR™ value with n. An FBR™ of 75% from hundreds of observations is generally more informative than the same value from a few settlements.

  3. 03
    Confirm a positive Net after costs

    FBR™ measures frequency, not profit size. Check that the current Net can still cover fees, spread and slippage on all four executions.

  4. 04
    Avoid relying on one signal

    Verify live rates, liquidity, settlement timing and margin on both exchanges. These filters may improve selection discipline, but cannot guarantee a profitable trade.

HOW TO CHOOSE A FUNDING RATE ARBITRAGE COIN

Five checks before choosing the highest APR

The largest number is a starting point. A stronger opportunity combines a positive spread, repeatable history and enough liquidity to enter and exit both legs.

  1. 1

    Start with a positive Net

    Sort the Net column from highest to lowest. Net shows the current funding difference before fees and slippage.

  2. 2

    Confirm the best direction

    Follow the displayed Long and Short exchanges. Reversing the two legs changes a positive spread into a negative one.

  3. 3

    Open “Compare all 6”

    Prefer a direction with a stronger 90-day FBR™ and a meaningful sample size. “OK” appears when the current positive direction also has an FBR™ above 70%.

  4. 4

    Check that data is fresh

    A stale rate may no longer represent the next settlement. Verify both exchange screens before placing orders.

  5. 5

    Subtract real trading costs

    Estimate entry and exit fees, bid-ask spread and slippage on both exchanges. Use the leverage slider to explore APR, then choose leverage from your margin and liquidation risk.

FUNDING RATE ARBITRAGE RESEARCH

Can funding rate arbitrage make money?

A funding rate arbitrage scanner helps identify positive spreads, but the displayed rate is not guaranteed profit. Funding predictions change, and every trade must account for execution costs and operational risk.

WHAT TO CHECK BEFORE TRADING

Funding arbitrage costs and risks

Trading fees and slippage

Opening and closing two positions creates four executions. A small funding spread may disappear after maker or taker fees and slippage.

Funding rate changes

Predicted rates can change before settlement. Confirm the latest rate and settlement schedule directly with each exchange.

Liquidation and exchange risk

Leverage increases capital efficiency and liquidation risk. Keep sufficient margin on both exchanges and consider operational or counterparty risk.
