Questions
Is COST funding-rate arbitrage profitable right now?
Not at $10,000 per side for 7 days: no COST 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 COST funding rate?
WhiteBIT at +10.9% a year (0.0100% every 8 h); the lowest is Crypto.com at −34.6%. A positive rate is paid by longs to shorts, a negative one by shorts to longs.
