I run a self-hosted API on a small VM: it polls Binance/Bybit/OKX public endpoints at each 8h settlement and serves live cross-exchange funding spreads for BTC/ETH/SOL. Free tier, no account: 20 req/hr at https://chrome-caused-sets-dealtime.trycloudflare.com/api/v1/funding/spread
The reason it exists is a measurement, not marketing. I pulled ~90 days of settlement history: median |spread| between any two exchanges is 0.16-0.31 bp/8h -> gross carry 0.9-1.9%/yr on notional. Retail taker fees (4 legs) run 0.8-1.6%/yr, so the classic long/short funding arb is net-negative for most retail fee tiers (backtest on real 90d data: -$322…-$481 per 90 days). $10/day needs ~$1.8M-$3.7M notional at realistic net returns. All three exchanges compute funding from near-identical index prices on the same schedule, which is why the spreads are single-digit bps.
