Hello, everyone!

I want to share with you the strategy that I have been applying lately in the cryptocurrency world and that is giving me recurring income with surprisingly low risk. If, like me, you are looking for a way to put your stablecoins to work when the market is sideways and without much volatility, you have come to the right place!

I've perfected a tactic that combines trading and airdrop hunting, and it's by far the most profitable way to generate passive income with your stable currencies today. Forget about trying to guess the price: here's how to win by taking advantage of the rules of the game.

The core concept is called Delta Neutral on futures exchanges that are about to hand out airdrops. If you have tried this before and failed, you probably made the most common mistake: opening a long trade on one exchange and a short trade on another for the same currency, just like that. That just burns commissions.

The aim is twofold, and the key is precision:

1. Immediate Benefit: Take advantage of Funding Rates. These are commissions paid between traders, and if you do it right, they pay you.

2. Future Benefit: Accumulate volume to receive future airdrops (free token distributions) from the exchanges you use.

The secret to making this strategy work is to apply the steps accurately, extracting the immediate benefit of funding rates and minimizing fees and risk.

To apply the strategy, you don't need to be a trading guru, you just need to be consistent and follow a simple routine:

• Capital: Stable currencies deposited on the Arbitrum blockchain.

• Tools: I use a site that used to be 100% free, but has been made payable, however, it still shows the most profitable trading opportunities in real time, at least where to go “Long” and where to go “Short”, plus the APR it offers. I also use a custom Excel to estimate my profits and know how long it will take to recover commissions and (be in break-even) and from when I start to have approximately profits.

• Choice of Exchanges: I recommend using at least two or three if your capital is limited. My priorities are:

  • Hyperliquid: Strong rumors of a possible second airdrop.

  • Lighter: Zero commissions on limit orders; very difficult to enter, but has great airdrop potential.

  • Extended & Aster: Two very new projects with good opportunities and airdrop potential.

  • Pacifica: This is another project focused on the “Solana” network with a confirmed AirDrop.

  • Extra Tip: I also do a couple of trades on Dexari (mobile only) which uses Hyperliquid liquidity and has confirmed AirDrop.

Note: The reality is that there are many more perpetual exchanges, several have been created lately, and they have confirmed AirDrops, in fact there is a very good one called “Backpack”, in which you have to do KYC, which represents a good investment opportunity. If you want a list of the best exchanges in the future, please comment to make another post on this topic.

This is the most important part of not losing money. The key is to minimize the risk of liquidation and maximize the collection of funding:

• Check Spread and Liquidity: Before opening any trade, it is vital that you check that the spread (price difference) is very low, ideally less than 0.01%. A high spread will crunch you with an “invisible commission”. Also, check that there is sufficient liquidity for the volume you are going to move.

• Mixed orders: To avoid execution errors and minimize costs, it is best to use mixed orders:

  • Open a Limit Order trade on the exchange with the lowest liquidity or the highest commissions (to save).

  • Open the other with Market Order on the most liquid exchange (to avoid slippage).

• Protection is Sacred: Never leave an open position unprotected. You must set Stop Loss and Take Profit orders on both exchanges immediately to avoid liquidation at all costs. Stop Loss on the long side must match Take Profit on the short side, and vice versa.

• Closing the Trade: Keep the position open at least until you have recouped the commissions spent. To close, close with a Limit Order on the least liquid exchange first, and then close the rest.

This strategy is a matter of being patient, methodical and taking advantage of the most stable funding rate opportunities. There is no urgency; you just have to wait for the best combination of exchanges and currencies.

I hope you'll give it a try! There is no other way to get such a high return on your stablecoins with such a low risk.
