## Questions

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

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

Hyperliquid at +142.3% a year (0.0162% every 1 h); the lowest is Kraken at −13.9%. A positive rate is paid by longs to shorts, a negative one by shorts to longs.
