A funding arbitrage position buys the spot asset and shorts the perpetual on the same venue, so price moves cancel out and the funding payment becomes the return. Taker fees on both legs cost about 0.32% of notional round trip, so the current rate needs roughly 6.8 days to pay that back. If the rate does not hold that long, the trade loses money even while the funding prints positive. The 24 hour median across venues is 48.7% annualized and the best venue is now at 17.2%, so today's level is at or below its own recent average.
Over the last 24 hours the best annualized rate on MSTU ranged from -266.0% to 277.9%, with a median of 48.7% across 558 samples. That range matters more than the spot number: a rate that spikes for one hour and collapses the next does not pay for the round trip.
Tokenized stock perpetuals track a US equity but trade around the clock while the underlying stock is closed, so the basis can gap over weekends and holidays.

Rates come straight from each exchange's public API and are re-read every hour. Annualized figures multiply the per-period rate by the number of periods in a year, which is 8,760 for an hourly venue and 1,095 for an eight-hour one. Volume is 24 hour quote volume, so it reflects dollar turnover you can actually trade against. Contracts with less than $1M of turnover are excluded from the ranking because their rates are usually noise.
