ID arbitrage explained
Right now SPACE ID (ID) trades on 9 venues we scan: 8 perpetual markets, 6 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on MEXC perp at $0.0367 and the highest bid on Gate perp at $0.0367.
The widest ID perpetual spread is between Binance and Gate: long ID on Binance at $0.0367 and short on Gate at $0.0367 for +0.03% gross, or -0.13% 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 collects while it is open.
For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best ID route is to buy spot on Gate and short the perpetual on Gate: 0.00% gross, -0.20% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot ID arbitrage (buy on Gate, withdraw, deposit and sell on Bybit) shows -0.03% 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 ID 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.
