Welcome to the team, #gate_io! 🙌 #Crypto #FundingRates
Here we go again, time for some #Education.
Previously, we discussed #BasisTrades, where you short the #Perp (perpetual future) and buy the #Spot asset when funding rates are positive. Now, let's explore the #InvertedBasisTrade — a similar concept but flipped! It's another way to earn from #FundingRates. 📚
In an #InvertedBasisTrade, you act when #FundingRates are negative, meaning short positions pay long positions. Here's how it works:
The benefits include:
✅ Earning Funding Rates: Your short futures position earns you regular payments due to positive funding rates.
✅ Risk Mitigation: Buying the spot asset offsets potential losses from price moves, keeping your overall position balanced.
#BasisTrades let you capitalize on #FundingRates without speculating on price direction. It's all about earning steady returns while effectively managing risk. A valuable strategy for traders seeking stability in a volatile market! 🚀
Here's how it works: 📝
1️⃣ Short the #Perp (Perpetual Future): You take a short position in a perpetual futures contract. With positive #FundingRates, you receive payments from long holders.
2️⃣ Buy the #Spot Asset: Simultaneously purchase the underlying crypto.
By doing both, you achieve a #DeltaNeutral position. This means price fluctuations won't significantly impact your net position. You're shielded from volatility while earning from the funding payments—a smart way to manage risk! 🛡️💰
... It's about leveraging market mechanics to your advantage without excessive exposure to price swings. 🧠
Platforms like https://copa.digital help you keep an eye on #FundingRates across exchanges, providing valuable insights for informed decision-making. In the fast-paced #Crypto world, staying educated is your best asset! 🚀
Yesterday's #education was about assets, today we gonna unpack #FundingRates in #crypto #trading! 📚
In perpetual futures (Perps), funding rates are periodic payments between traders holding long and short positions. They're designed to keep #Perp prices aligned with the #Spot price of the asset. ⚖️
How do they work? If the perpetual futures price is above the spot price, the funding rate is positive. Longs pay shorts. If it's below, the rate is negative, and shorts pay longs...
Be it a #Basis, #FundingArb or even something esoteric like an #InvertedBasis opportunity. We even added a button to show currently unprofitable opportunities. "Why on earth would you do that?" you might ask. Because #FundingRates change and what might be unprofitable now, might have been profitable for the last month and could be profitable again, in 8 hours. The history #charts offer a clue.
🚀 Hello, Crypto World! 🌐 We're excited to launch copa.digital - your new hub for exploiting funding rate discrepancies in crypto futures! Our first 4 exchanges (Bitget, Bybit, Kucoin and OKX) are LIVE, with more on the way. Let's navigate the crypto cosmos together! ✨
