## Questions

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

Not at $10,000 per side for 7 days: no CRO 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 CRO funding rate?**

BloFin at +24.1% a year (0.0220% every 8 h); the lowest is KuCoin at −19.7%. A positive rate is paid by longs to shorts, a negative one by shorts to longs.
