APT arbitrage explained
Right now Aptos (APT) trades on 10 venues we scan: 10 perpetual markets, 6 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on Bitget perp at $0.7447 and the highest bid on Bitget spot at $0.7463.
The widest APT perpetual spread is between Bitget and HTX: long APT on Bitget at $0.7447 and short on HTX at $0.7456 for +0.12% gross, or -0.04% 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 APT route is to buy spot on Binance and short the perpetual on HTX: 0.00% gross, -0.20% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot APT arbitrage (buy on Binance, withdraw, deposit and sell on Bitget) shows +0.09% 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 APT 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.
