Questions
Is LINK funding-rate arbitrage profitable right now?
Not at $10,000 per side for 7 days: no LINK 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 LINK funding rate?
BloFin at +24.1% a year (0.0220% every 8 h); the lowest is Crypto.com at −23.9%. A positive rate is paid by longs to shorts, a negative one by shorts to longs.
