The widest AIO perpetual spread is between Gate and Binance: long AIO on Gate at $0.0421 and short on Binance at $0.0422 for +0.17% gross, or +0.01% 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 AIO route is to buy spot on Gate and short the perpetual on Binance: +0.07% gross, -0.13% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot AIO arbitrage (buy on Gate, withdraw, deposit and sell on Bitget) shows -0.05% 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 AIO 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.
