BTC arbitrage explained

Right now Bitcoin (BTC) trades on 12 venues we scan: 11 perpetual markets, 7 spot markets and 1 DEX pool. The lowest ask is on Variational perp at $82,749.50 and the highest bid on Bitget perp at $82,847.50.

The widest BTC perpetual spread is between Variational and Bitget: long BTC on Variational at $82,749.50 and short on Bitget at $82,847.50 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 +0.017% per day, which the position collects while it is open.

For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best BTC route is to buy spot on KuCoin and short the perpetual on Bitget: +0.03% gross, -0.17% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.

Spot–spot BTC arbitrage (buy on KuCoin, withdraw, deposit and sell on Bitget) shows +0.02% 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 BTC 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.
