## Questions

**Is ASTER funding-rate arbitrage profitable right now?**

Not at $10,000 per side for 7 days: no ASTER pair shows a verified profit after fees and order-book slippage right now. Rates change every hour; the live page re-ranks continuously.

**Which exchange has the highest ASTER funding rate?**

BloFin at +37.2% a year (0.0170% every 4 h); the lowest is Kraken at −24.4%. A positive rate is paid by longs to shorts, a negative one by shorts to longs.
