The largest crypto exchange has expanded its arsenal, now offering over 120,000 active trading strategies.
Notably, over 70% of active Spot Copy Trading Lead Traders have achieved positive P&L. Binance, renowned for its blockchain ecosystem and the world’s top crypto exchange by trading volume, has unveiled two significant updates: the launch of the Funding Rate Arbitrage Bot and the full rollout of Spot Copy Trading to eligible users.
Binance’s Trading Bots Marketplace boasts a diverse array of over 120,000 active trading strategies, continually enriching its suite of automated trading tools. Among the popular automated bots are Grid Trading for both Spot and Futures, Rebalancing Bot, Auto-Invest, and Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA).
The Funding Rate Arbitrage Bot marks Binance’s pioneering step into automating delta-neutral spot and futures arbitrage strategies. It eliminates the need for manual execution of separate spot and perpetual futures trades. The bot aims to enable traders to earn funding fees by executing a perpetual futures position and hedging it with an opposite position of equal size on the same symbol in the spot market.
This Arbitrage Bot streamlines the execution of both spot and futures trades simultaneously, sparing users the hassle of managing two trade orders across different interfaces. Users can conveniently monitor their performance as the bot independently manages strategies in their trading bots wallet.
The bot offers two deployment options:
- Positive Carry: Buying assets on the spot market and shorting corresponding perpetual futures contracts, aiming to collect funding fees from a positive funding rate.
- Reverse Carry: Selling assets on the spot market and going long on perpetual contracts, aiming to collect funding fees from a negative funding rate.
The Arbitrage Bot is accessible on the Binance website and will be available on the Binance App starting May 30.
Rohit Wad, Binance’s Chief Technology Officer, emphasized the platform’s commitment to user feedback and choice. The Funding Rate Arbitrage Bot caters to users seeking to automate arbitrage strategies efficiently. With its user-friendly interface, the bot enables more users to explore new strategies. Additionally, Binance’s Spot Copy Trading feature, initially introduced to Lead Traders in April, has garnered significant traction, with over 700 registrations so far, demonstrating the community’s positive reception.
Spot Copy Trading, introduced to address user demand, will be fully accessible to all eligible users starting May 15, enabling them to follow Lead Traders and replicate their portfolios.
