Perp Funding Spread
by Usenami in Markets & finance
Cross-venue funding-rate spread for one crypto perpetual — the highest- and lowest-paying venues and the spread in bps, across major CEX and DEX venues (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Hyperliquid …). `spread_bps` is the RAW rate difference, the same quantity and name as on `/v1/perp/arbitrage/funding`; `normalized_spread_8h_bps` scales both legs to 8h, the comparable one, since venues quote on 1h/4h/8h. Leg intervals ship with the row; normalized is null when a schedule is unknown, never defaulted.
