## Questions

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

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

KuCoin at +10.9% a year (0.0050% every 4 h); the lowest is Hyperliquid at −51.4%. A positive rate is paid by longs to shorts, a negative one by shorts to longs.
