MAGIC arbitrage explained
Right now Treasure (MAGIC) trades on 9 venues we scan: 8 perpetual markets, 6 spot markets and 1 DEX pool. The lowest ask is on MEXC perp at $0.065 and the highest bid on Bybit perp at $0.0651.
The widest MAGIC perpetual spread is between Binance and Bybit: long MAGIC on Binance at $0.065 and short on Bybit at $0.0651 for +0.11% gross, or -0.05% 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 MAGIC route is to buy spot on Bybit and short the perpetual on Bybit: +0.08% gross, -0.12% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot MAGIC arbitrage (buy on Bybit, withdraw, deposit and sell on OKX) shows +0.05% 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 MAGIC 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.
