I know funding rates, but this is new to me: that the future does not have funding rates. But why, when going to the futures tab, are all coins perpetuals? We're learning. I looked into it and discovered that some future pairs with date expirations do not have funding rates because they do not fall under perpetual. In perpetual you can hold as long as you like with no expiration, but the price in the future does not correlate on the spot. That is why funding rates exist. Based on what I understand, if the bias is bullish and you take a long position on the perp, you'll pay shorts with the funding rates every 8 hours, but if you go with shorts while it's bullish, you'll earn from funding rates every 8 hours. Since the question is why futures do not have funding rates compared to perpetuals, I believe it is because futures, or pairs with expiration dates, correlate much to spot prices. To be honest, when I trade futures, I don't care much about funding rates because I only get very small fees or earn money from them, but I've heard that some traders take advantage of this. Traders who engage in arbitrage typically take advantage of these opportunities by trading on multiple exchanges. They did this by buying or selling on the spot while going long or short on a perpetual basis in order to profit from funding rates. Now I understand how arbitrage is not only making money from buying cheaper on one exchange and selling it higher on the other exchange; they also take advantage of these funding rates.
