This might be a little off topic but any of you guys taking advantage of the premium on the future derivative markets? Basically the June futures for ETH and BTC there is a 10% premium.

So if you got any type of fiat whether it’s USD, tether, USDC, etc you can buy on spot and at the same time sell on the futures and wait 4.5 months and get 10% for doing nothing pretty much.

Never seen the premium so high before, usually it’s 1% a month but you got Feb futures which expire in 10 days with a. 3% premium or far off futures like the Sept/Dec at 15/20% respectively. Seems that there is so much demand that the market makers are running out of funds to arb these markets. Open interest is thru the roof at 17B currently.

margin for profits is small and getting smaller there,people are already borrowing on one exchange and lend those funds on another that gives higher % on funds.Most of it is done by bots anyway and by whales
