## Questions

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

Not right now. At $10,000 per side for 7 days the best STRC pair (BingX / Binance) would net +$75.81 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 STRC funding rate?**

LBank at +26.3% a year (0.0030% every 1 h); the lowest is BingX at −23.7%. A positive rate is paid by longs to shorts, a negative one by shorts to longs.
