Both sides work for this trade now. Funding pays +$43 a day on $10k at the current rate, and BloFin is 0.395% dearer against Gate than usual: you sell high and buy low: +$39 more if the spread goes back to its 7-day average of +0.144%. The two prices were read 78 seconds apart, so part of this spread may be the market moving, not a spread.
The current funding rate is far above what this pair has been paying: over the last 7 days it paid 0.701% in total (about 36.6% a year). A funding rate is set anew for every payment; at this rate the next one is about +$7.22 per $10,000. In the chart: green and red are payments made, yellow is the current rate, not paid yet.
