Funding pays, the price is against you. MEXC is 0.058% cheaper against Lighter than usual: you would sell low and buy high (spread −0.028% now, against its 7-day average of +0.030%). If the spread goes back, that is −$6 on $10k: about 12 hours of funding at the current rate (+$12 a day). At the pace of the last 7 days (+0.137% in total) that is about 3.0 days.
The current funding rate is far above what this pair has been paying: over the last 7 days it paid 0.137% in total (about 7.1% a year). A funding rate is set anew for every payment. In the chart: green and red are payments made, yellow is the current rate, not paid yet.
