Funding Rate Arbitrage is a trading strategy that seeks to profit from differences between the funding rates of perpetual futures contracts and the spot price of the underlying asset. Traders simultaneously take opposing positions in the perpetual futures market and the spot market. This allows them to collect or pay funding rates while hedging their directional price risk. The strategy aims to capture the spread between these two market segments.
