The widest AEON perpetual spread is between OKX and Bitget: long AEON on OKX at $0.0702 and short on Bitget at $0.0703 for +0.07% gross, or -0.09% after the 0.16% two-leg fee model. No transfer is needed: both positions stay on their exchanges until the prices converge. The funding difference on this pair is 0.000% per day, which the position collects while it is open.
For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best AEON route is to buy spot on OKX and short the perpetual on Bitget: +0.14% gross, -0.06% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot AEON arbitrage (buy on OKX, withdraw, deposit and sell on KuCoin) shows -0.04% gross right now. It only works if withdrawals on the buying exchange and deposits on the selling exchange are open, so check the D/W dots before moving coins.
Small AEON gaps usually disappear after fees, slippage and funding. Look at the Net column, the executable Depth and the spread history before trading: a gap that has been open for days is a different trade from a one-minute spike.
