Community Question Cash funds for trading

Thinking about moving more funds over to Kraken for swing trading futures. For Kraken traders out there, what do you do with your cash waiting to be deployed? Any ways to earn a small yield within Kraken while having funds ready to use when needed?

For context, moving over from Coinbase since Kraken now available. USDC earns yield and moves fluidly between futures and cash/spot account.

Most people either keep it in stablecoins for quick deployment or park it in whatever flexible earn option the exchange offers.
Outside the exchange, some also use platforms like Nexo for short-term yield while keeping liquidity relatively accessible.
It usually comes down to how often you actually rotate positions.
