HNT arbitrage explained

Right now Helium (HNT) trades on 6 venues we scan: 4 perpetual markets, 5 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on MEXC perp at $0.5033 and the highest bid on Variational perp at $0.5052.

The widest HNT perpetual spread is between MEXC and Variational: long HNT on MEXC at $0.5033 and short on Variational at $0.5052 for +0.38% gross, or +0.22% 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 HNT route is to buy spot on Bybit and short the perpetual on Variational: +0.14% gross, -0.06% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.

Spot–spot HNT arbitrage (buy on Bybit, withdraw, deposit and sell on Bitget) shows +0.04% 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 HNT 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.
