BASED arbitrage explained

Right now Based (BASED) trades on 9 venues we scan: 9 perpetual markets, 4 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on KuCoin perp at $0.0674 and the highest bid on Bitget perp at $0.0676.

The widest BASED perpetual spread is between KuCoin and Bitget: long BASED on KuCoin at $0.0674 and short on Bitget at $0.0676 for +0.22% gross, or +0.06% 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 BASED route is to buy spot on OKX and short the perpetual on Bitget: +0.12% gross, -0.08% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.

Spot–spot BASED arbitrage (buy on KuCoin, withdraw, deposit and sell on OKX) 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 BASED 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.
