Both sides work for this trade now. Funding pays +$21 a day on $10k at the current rate, and Kraken Futures is 0.665% dearer against OKX than usual: you sell high and buy low: +$66 more if the spread goes back to its 7-day average of +0.178%. Mind the row above: over the last 7 days funding on this pair cost −0.405%, so the current rate has only just turned in your favour. The two prices were read 55 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 -0.405% in total (about -21.1% a year). A funding rate is set anew for every payment. In the chart: green and red are payments made, yellow is the current rate, not paid yet.
