Of the 435 funding carries that stayed above 6% APR for a full day, zero repaid their own round-trip cost. Funding arbitrage — short a perp on one venue, go long the other leg on another, collect the funding spread — is the most advertised "delta-neutral yield" in crypto. Every dashboard sells the same picture: 30–80% APR, basically every day. Free money, on screen. We wanted to know how much of that survives contact with real execution. So we recorded funding, order books and fees for 238 markets (13 assets across 11 venues: Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Gate, KuCoin, HTX, MEXC, Hyperliquid, dYdX, Paradex) every few seconds for 19 days. Then, instead of screenshotting the peak APR, we replayed what a disciplined trade would actually earn.
