The price spread pays, funding is against you. Aster is 0.348% dearer against BloFin than usual: you sell high and buy low (spread +0.348% now, against zero (this spread has no 7-day history yet)): +$35 on $10k if it goes back. Holding the pair costs −$1 a day in funding at the current rate, which eats that in about 41 days. The two prices were read 102 seconds apart, so part of this spread may be the market moving, not a spread.
