CVX arbitrage explained
Right now Convex Finance (CVX) trades on 8 venues we scan: 8 perpetual markets, 5 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on OKX perp at $2.09 and the highest bid on OKX spot at $2.10.
The widest CVX perpetual spread is between Gate and Variational: long CVX on Gate at $2.09 and short on Variational at $2.09 for +0.09% gross, or -0.07% 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 pays while it is open.
For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best CVX route is to buy spot on Binance and short the perpetual on Variational: -0.05% gross, -0.25% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot CVX arbitrage (buy on Binance, withdraw, deposit and sell on OKX) shows 0.00% 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 CVX 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.
