KOMA arbitrage explained
Right now Koma Inu (KOMA) trades on 6 venues we scan: 6 perpetual markets, 3 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on KuCoin perp at $0.0199 and the highest bid on Aster perp at $0.0199.
The widest KOMA perpetual spread is between KuCoin and Aster: long KOMA on KuCoin at $0.0199 and short on Aster at $0.0199 for +0.08% gross, or -0.08% 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 +0.341% per day, which the position collects while it is open.
For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best KOMA route is to buy spot on Gate and short the perpetual on Aster: +0.05% gross, -0.15% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot KOMA arbitrage (buy on Gate, withdraw, deposit and sell on KuCoin) shows -0.13% 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 KOMA 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.
