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 collects while it is open.
For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best GRIFFAIN route is to buy spot on Gate and short the perpetual on Bybit: -0.12% gross, -0.32% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot GRIFFAIN arbitrage (buy on KuCoin, withdraw, deposit and sell on Gate) shows -0.22% 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 GRIFFAIN 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.
