The crypto world is full of all kinds of characters, with the market fluctuating wildly. But in this dangerous market, there lies a 'hidden channel' that sends money every four hours—today, we will reveal a risk-free opportunity for funding fee arbitrage, allowing you to easily profit and enjoy the thrill of 'shearing the platform's wool'!

1. Main character of the story: B3USDT, a small cash cow in the crypto world?


Let's first take a look at the situation of these two platforms:

📌 B3USDT on Binance:

  • Latest funding rate: -1.2923% (a negative value means the bears have to pay the bulls)

  • Settlement cycle: 4 hours

  • Next settlement: 2025-05-28 16:00


📌 B3_USDT on Gate (ZhiMa):

  • Latest funding rate: -0.7896% (still a negative value, but gentler than Binance)

  • Also a 4-hour settlement

  • Next settlement:2025-05-28 16:00


Are you smelling the scent of wool already?


2. Arbitrage logic: buying low and selling high is not as good as 'holding high and lying low'


This is a classic scenario of cross-platform brick-moving arbitrage, with a simple and straightforward gameplay:


  1. Going long (bullish) on Binance, earning funding fees (because the bears have to pay!)

  2. At the same time, going short (bearish) on Gate to hedge risks (the negative funding fee on Gate is relatively low, so your losses are smaller)

  3. At the settlement time, just wait for Binance to send you money, earning more and losing less on the price difference!

🚀 In this round, the arbitrage profit difference is -1.2923% - (-0.7896%) = about 0.5027% / 4 hours

In other words, with a little effort, you can get a 0.5% risk-free profit (opening a 20x contract for hedging means 20*0.5%=10% profit) with almost no risk.

Taking 10000U as an example,

  • Longing 5000U on Binance, shorting 5000U on ZhiMa, 5000*10%=500U profit

Tip: Actual profits also need to consider the trading fees of the contracts, generally around 0.1%, gross profit of 300U (contract fees have commissions, which vary per person, so the commission part is not included in the statistics)



3. Risk warning

Of course, in the crypto world, there is no absolute 'risk-free'. Here are a few points to note:

  • Liquidity issue: Don't get stuck in a position because of a momentary arbitrage opportunity. Be careful not to become a 'brick mover' who can never withdraw funds.

  • Transaction fees: Pay attention to the platform's fees; if they are too high, profits will be eaten away.

  • Risk of forced liquidation: Ensure that the leverage on both sides is consistent, don't let one side get liquidated while you are just staring blankly.

  • Platform lag or paused trading: especially as the settlement point approaches, a small temper from the platform can directly leave you eating noodles overnight.


While most people in the crypto world are frantically chasing prices, staying up late watching the market, and having their dreams of getting rich shattered, a group of smart individuals have quietly discovered the path of funding fee arbitrage. They collect rent every 4 hours, like 'landlords' in the crypto world.


So, don't get too caught up in brushing K-lines, it's better to try some arbitrage 'digging wells for water'.

Just asking: have you moved bricks for B3 today?
