## Questions

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

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

HTX at +10.9% a year (0.0050% every 4 h); the lowest is OKX at −111.9%. A positive rate is paid by longs to shorts, a negative one by shorts to longs.
