KITE arbitrage explained

Right now Kite (KITE) trades on 9 venues we scan: 9 perpetual markets, 6 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on Variational perp at $0.1364 and the highest bid on KuCoin spot at $0.1371.

The widest KITE perpetual spread is between Variational and Binance: long KITE on Variational at $0.1364 and short on Binance at $0.1367 for +0.23% gross, or +0.07% 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 KITE route is to buy spot on Binance and short the perpetual on Binance: +0.08% gross, -0.12% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.

Spot–spot KITE arbitrage (buy on Binance, withdraw, deposit and sell on KuCoin) shows +0.37% 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 KITE 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.
