Questions
Is CAT funding-rate arbitrage profitable right now?
Not right now. At $10,000 per side for 7 days the best CAT pair (LBank / Bitget) would net +$635.03 after taker fees, order-book slippage and carry, but it is on watch rather than actionable; the live page shows what holds it back.
Which exchange has the highest CAT funding rate?
MEXC at +21.9% a year (0.0200% every 8 h); the lowest is Bybit at −386.2%. A positive rate is paid by longs to shorts, a negative one by shorts to longs.
