The trade behind the numbers

BERA funding rates, explained

Every venue prices BERA funding on its own book and its own clock. The gap between the cheapest and the richest is the whole trade — here is where it sits today, and what is left of it after fees.

Why the gap exists

A perpetual future never expires, so exchanges tether it to spot with a funding payment: a positive rate means longs pay shorts, a negative one means shorts pay longs. Every venue sets its own rate, on its own schedule, from its own order book — so the same contract can pay on one exchange and charge on another at the very same minute.

Hold both legs in equal size and the price risk cancels: whatever BERA does, one leg gains what the other loses. What is left is the funding difference — an annualized 45.41% here, 33.94% once the round-trip fee of $2.20 per $1,000 is paid. Close before roughly 42 hours and it loses money however wide the spread looks — which is why break-even sits next to every number.

Questions about BERA funding

What is the BERA funding rate right now?
Orderly is paying -0.0157% per 4h, while Bitget charges 0.0050% per 4h. The table above lists the current rate on all 13 venues that quote BERA perpetuals.
Which exchange has the best BERA funding rate?
It depends on your side. A long pays least on Orderly; a short earns most on Bitget. Running both at once captures the gap between them without taking a directional bet on BERA.
How is the annualized BERA funding APR calculated?
Each venue pays funding on its own schedule — hourly, four-hourly or eight-hourly. We normalize every rate to a common period and compound it over a year, so venues on different schedules can be compared on one axis. Fees are then subtracted over the intended hold to give the net APR.
Is BERA funding arbitrage risk-free?
No. The price risk is hedged, but fees, a rate that flips mid-hold, liquidation on one leg through margin imbalance, withdrawal delays and exchange risk all remain. Net APR and break-even tell you whether the trade survives its own costs — not whether the venues survive.
