Could you do a reverse spread trade on $HYPE funding rates for a quick win on Boros?
The mean spread over the past 180 days is 7.93%, while the current Boros implied spread is 5.28%.
Want to capture a possible mean reversion of the spread?
Long HYPE-HL funding, short HYPE-Gate funding.
The Boros Data Board shows the mean APR of HYPE-HL funding is 8.62%, while Boros is 8.39%.
And the mean APR of HYPE Gate funding is 0.68%, while Boros is pricing it at 3.12% implied.
If both implied APRs move towards their mean APRs, both legs of the trade profit.
Now, this is a directional bet on funding rates.
So there’s no need to open any perp positions on HL/Gate. It’s the opposite of fixed rate arbitrage, as you’re betting that the implied APR spread will widen before your positions mature!
