I recently made some profits from Aster's funding fees, the funding fees are really attractive, but I didn't make enough because my margin is insufficient. As far as I know, arbitrage teams are frantically buying spot to arbitrage funding fees on Binance or HL, and I have a bunch of spot in hand, so I definitely want to take advantage of it. Aster is the first to push the contract's positive funding fees up, forcing quantitative teams to buy spot for arbitrage, it's something I've never seen before. The only thing I can think of is consensus, retail and institutions are all going long on the contract, leading to a significant difference between perpetual and spot prices.
