The widest CRO perpetual spread is between Gate and Bybit: long CRO on Gate at $0.063 and short on Bybit at $0.063 for +0.05% gross, or -0.11% 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 -0.065% per day, which the position pays while it is open.
For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best CRO route is to buy spot on Bitget and short the perpetual on Bitget: +16.52% gross, +16.32% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot CRO arbitrage (buy on Bitget, withdraw, deposit and sell on Gate) shows +16.57% 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 CRO 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.
