KSM arbitrage explained

Right now Kusama (KSM) trades on 7 venues we scan: 7 perpetual markets, 7 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on Bybit perp at $4.83 and the highest bid on Bitget spot at $4.84.

The widest KSM perpetual spread is between Bybit and Binance: long KSM on Bybit at $4.83 and short on Binance at $4.83 for +0.02% gross, or -0.14% 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 KSM route is to buy spot on Gate and short the perpetual on Binance: -0.08% gross, -0.28% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.

Spot–spot KSM arbitrage (buy on Gate, withdraw, deposit and sell on Bitget) shows +0.10% 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 KSM 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.
