What’s more – the Arbitrage Bot has the ability to execute both spot and futures trades automatically, while eliminating the need for users to manually manage two separate trade orders on different trading interfaces. Binance’s Arbitrage Bot strategies are managed independently in users’ trading bots wallet, making it convenient for users to monitor their performance.

The Arbitrage Bot allows users two types of strategies – Details

Binance’s Funding fees by design plays a crucial role in the crypto markets, ensuring that spot and perpetual futures prices remain in sync. When the funding rate is positive due to a bullish trend, long traders pay the funding fee to short traders. Conversely, when the funding rate is negative due to a bearish trend, short traders end up paying the funding fee to long traders.

The Arbitrage Bot allows users to deploy two types of strategies: 

Positive Carry: The bot purchases assets on the spot market and concurrently sells the corresponding perpetual futures contract, with the goal of enabling the user to earn funding fees from a favorable funding rate. 

Reverse Carry:  The bot strategically sells assets on the spot market while going long on perpetual contracts. The goal is for the user to benefit from collecting funding fees resulting from a negative funding rate.

As per Binance’s official announcement, the Arbitrage Bot is currently available on the Binance website. In addition, it be released on Binance App on May 30.

Copy Trading is now available to all eligible users

Along with the official announcement, Binance reports that the Spot Copy Trading feature will be fully available to all eligible users from May 15 onwards. This follows the successful introduction of the feature to Lead Traders in April.

Since signing up for Spot Copy Trading, over 70% of active Lead Traders have generated positive P&L, despite the extremely volatile market and the 11% decline in the overall crypto market capitalization in April.
