A single strategy that runs the VALIDATED same-venue extreme-funding cash-and-carry across a BASKET of liquid Binance assets instead of one. For each asset in {BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP}, when that asset's OWN 8h perpetual funding rate is extreme (>= ~0.05%/8h), open a delta-neutral cash-and-carry: long the spot (BINANCE_SPOT) and short an equal-USD-notional USD-M perp (BINANCE), collecting the rich funding each 8h cycle while both legs are price-hedged. Positions are independent per asset and held only while that asset's funding stays elevated. This is the explicit reframe escalated by the analyst across five abandoned single-asset/cross-venue siblings: the same-venue extreme-funding gate is the only funding mechanism in the entire session shown to CLEAR fees (the BTC sibling: 184 trades, Sharpe 7.84, PF 1.15, genuinely neutral book). The single-asset version failed ONLY because BTC extreme-funding episodes cluster in 2020-2021, leaving recent holdout windows with zero trades. Spreading the SAME gate across 5 assets means some asset is almost always in an extreme-funding regime, giving continuous, validatable trading (non-zero OOS/holdout) while preserving the exact fee-clearing extreme-funding gate. Crucially this is NOT cross-exchange funding-differential carry (thin gap, repeatedly fee-dominated) and NOT thin-funding marginal carry (fee bleed) — it is single-venue, single-leg-per-asset funding COLLECTION gated to extreme levels that exceed the round-trip cost over the multi-cycle hold.
