#funding-rate

Funding rate arbitrage earns yield by going long spot and short perp (or vice versa) to collect funding payments without directional risk. On BULK Exchange, this strategy benefits from 0 bps maker fees during Genesis Phase and portfolio margin that reduces required capital by up to 70%.

Perpetual futures use funding rates to keep prices tethered to spot. Positive funding means longs pay shorts. Negative funding means shorts pay longs. This guide explains how funding works on BULK Exchange and how to factor it into your position sizing.
