Questions
Is ALT funding-rate arbitrage profitable right now?
Not at the full size. At $10,000 per side for 7 days the best ALT pair (Binance / BingX) would net +$20.21 after taker fees, order-book slippage and carry, but the slippage at that size is over the budget, so it is on watch rather than actionable.
Which exchange has the highest ALT funding rate?
Phemex at +10.9% a year (0.0050% every 4 h); the lowest is BloFin at −69.1%. A positive rate is paid by longs to shorts, a negative one by shorts to longs.
