The widest HOME perpetual spread is between OKX and KuCoin: long HOME on OKX at $0.00563 and short on KuCoin at $0.005638 for +0.14% gross, or -0.02% 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 +0.001% per day, which the position collects while it is open.
For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best HOME route is to buy spot on Bybit and short the perpetual on KuCoin: +0.02% gross, -0.18% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot HOME arbitrage (buy on Bybit, withdraw, deposit and sell on KuCoin) shows +0.02% 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 HOME 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.
