The widest ICNT perpetual spread is between KuCoin and Gate: long ICNT on KuCoin at $0.0952 and short on Gate at $0.0953 for +0.15% gross, or -0.01% 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 +0.069% per day, which the position collects while it is open.
For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best ICNT route is to buy spot on Bitget and short the perpetual on Gate: +0.11% gross, -0.09% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot ICNT arbitrage (buy on Bitget, withdraw, deposit and sell on KuCoin) shows +0.06% 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 ICNT 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.
