Both sides work for this trade now. Funding pays $0 a day on $10k at the current rate, and Paradex is 0.026% dearer against Lighter than usual: you sell high and buy low: +$3 more if the spread goes back to zero (this spread has no 7-day history yet). The two prices were read 57 seconds apart, so part of this spread may be the market moving, not a spread.
