The price spread pays, funding is against you. KuCoin is 0.192% dearer against Kraken Futures than usual: you sell high and buy low (spread +0.022% now, against its 7-day average of −0.170%): +$19 on $10k if it goes back. Holding the pair costs −$19 a day in funding at the current rate, which eats that in about 24 hours. Mind the row above: over the last 7 days funding on this pair paid +0.269%, so the current rate has only just turned against you. The two prices were read 52 seconds apart, so part of this spread may be the market moving, not a spread.

The current funding rate is far above what this pair has been paying: over the last 7 days it paid 0.269% in total (about 14.0% 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.
