CAP arbitrage explained

Right now Cap (CAP) trades on 9 venues we scan: 9 perpetual markets, 3 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on Variational perp at $0.0712 and the highest bid on MEXC perp at $0.0715.

The widest CAP perpetual spread is between Variational and MEXC: long CAP on Variational at $0.0712 and short on MEXC at $0.0715 for +0.35% gross, or +0.19% 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 +0.215% per day, which the position collects while it is open.

For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best CAP route is to buy spot on Bybit and short the perpetual on MEXC: -0.07% gross, -0.27% net, with -0.340% a day of funding on the short leg.

Spot–spot CAP arbitrage (buy on KuCoin, withdraw, deposit and sell on Bybit) shows -0.15% 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 CAP 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.
