POWER Funding Rate Arbitrage
Delta-neutral, not risk-free: funding can flip, and you need margin on both legs (liquidation risk on either exchange). Yields are annualized from the current funding spread and change every funding interval.
POWER funding pairs across exchanges
LIVEBoth legs of every pair use rates from the same moment. The spread is the hourly funding rate of the short leg minus the long leg; the annual figure is the hourly spread × 8760 at the rates shown. The result covers 30 days on 5,000 USDT per leg with the venues’ public taker fees; the order-book spread and slippage on execution are not included.

Data and assumptions
- KuCoin rate
- Gate.io rate
- Valid until
- KuCoin: The venue does not state the data time — it is determined indirectly.
- Gate.io: The venue’s forecast repeats the current rate and is not counted separately.
- The pair’s rates come from the shared list update and were not rechecked separately.
- A payment at the opening moment is outside the period; a payment at the closing moment is inside.
- Quantity = notional ÷ the higher of the leg prices.
- The price funding is calculated from does not change until the payment.
- The current rate stays unchanged in repeats.
- The funding interval does not change.
- Capital is already on the venues: no entry transfer; return and rebalancing are not included.
- The exit price equals the current price: exit notional and fee are as of now.
- Margin equals the leg notional (1× leverage).
- Reserve on the venue is 0.
- Margin equals the leg notional (1× leverage).
- Reserve on the venue is 0.

How funding rate arbitrage works
A perpetual futures contract pays a periodic funding rate between longs and shorts. When two exchanges show different funding rates for the same coin, you can go long where funding is low (or negative) and short where it is high — staying delta-neutral on price while collecting the funding spread. Yieldo scans live rates across all supported exchanges and ranks the best long/short pairs after fees.

FAQ
POWER FAQ
What is funding rate arbitrage?
It is a delta-neutral strategy: you open a long position where the perpetual funding rate is low or negative and a short of the same size where funding is high. Price moves cancel out, and you collect the difference in funding payments.
Is POWER funding arbitrage risk-free?
No. It is market-neutral, not risk-free. Funding rates can flip before the next payment, both legs require margin (liquidation risk), and exchange or transfer issues can break the hedge. Treat the annualized yield as indicative, not guaranteed.
How is the annualized yield calculated?
We take the current funding-rate spread between the two exchanges and annualize it by the number of funding intervals per year for each contract. Actual returns depend on how long the spread persists.
