คำถามที่พบบ่อย
What is a funding rate in crypto?
A periodic fee paid between long and short traders on perpetual futures. Each exchange sets its own rate, so the same coin can pay you on one venue and charge you on another — that gap is funding arbitrage.
What does delta-neutral mean?
Your long and short legs cancel market direction: if the coin rises or falls, the two sides offset. Profit comes from the spread or funding gap converging, not from predicting price.
What is basis in spot-futures arbitrage?
Basis is the premium (or discount) of the perpetual versus spot. Buy spot and short the perp when the premium is rich, then unwind as basis compresses — price risk stays hedged.
