## Questions

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

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

Kraken at +32.4% a year (0.0037% every 1 h); the lowest is ApeX at −41.8%. A positive rate is paid by longs to shorts, a negative one by shorts to longs.
