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 $82,927.60 and the highest bid on KuCoin spot at $82,996.20.

The widest BTC perpetual spread is between Variational and Bitget: long BTC on Variational at $82,927.60 and short on Bitget at $82,994.70 for +0.08% gross, or -0.08% 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 +0.021% 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 OKX and short the perpetual on Bitget: +0.01% gross, -0.19% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.

Spot–spot BTC arbitrage (buy on OKX, withdraw, deposit and sell on KuCoin) shows +0.01% 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.

How do I arbitrage BTC without transferring coins?

Use two perpetual contracts: go long BTC on the cheaper exchange (Variational now) and short it on the more expensive one (Bitget), then close both legs when the spread converges. The coins never move between exchanges.
