Both sides work for this trade now. Funding pays +$3 a day on $10k at the current rate, and BloFin is 0.024% dearer against OKX than usual: you sell high and buy low: +$2 more if the spread goes back to its 7-day average of −0.014%. The two prices were read 103 seconds apart, so part of this spread may be the market moving, not a spread.
