For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best AVA route is to buy spot on Bitget and short the perpetual on KuCoin: +0.18% gross, -0.02% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot AVA arbitrage (buy on Bitget, withdraw, deposit and sell on Bybit) shows +0.13% 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 AVA 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.
