Recently, I found ONT to be quite interesting. With a negative 2 funding rate and up to 75x leverage, it looks like a good arbitrage opportunity. So I gave it a try.



When the funding fee was about to settle, I maximized the 75x leverage to go long, but only got a limit of 5000U, with an actual principal of less than 67U. When the price hit the target, I immediately closed the position at market price. And what happened? I received 100U just from the funding fee. Although the position itself lost 42U, after deducting fees, I still netted over 50 bucks.

Honestly, this move was a bit unexpected. There are quite a few market inefficiencies like this, it just depends on whether you can catch them.

Bro, this tactic is brilliant. Just use the funding fee to reverse and cut a slice, and you can even make a profit from the fees.

Damn, the profit from arbitraging this fee rate difference is really sweet, but I guess this kind of opportunity will be gone in a flash.

No, earning over 50 with just 67 principal? This exchange must be really shady, haha.

Negative fee arbitrage is really clever; you just need to be quick, a second's delay and it's gone.
