The widest AKE perpetual spread is between Variational and Aster: long AKE on Variational at $0.0304 and short on Aster at $0.0306 for +0.49% gross, or +0.33% 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 +0.437% per day, which the position collects while it is open.
For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best AKE route is to buy spot on Gate and short the perpetual on Aster: +0.19% gross, -0.01% net, with +0.467% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot AKE arbitrage (buy on Gate, withdraw, deposit and sell on MEXC) shows -0.08% 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 AKE 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.
