MEME arbitrage explained
Right now Memecoin (MEME) trades on 8 venues we scan: 8 perpetual markets, 7 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on OKX perp at $0.000575 and the highest bid on MEXC perp at $0.000576.
The widest MEME perpetual spread is between OKX and Binance: long MEME on OKX at $0.000575 and short on Binance at $0.000576 for +0.10% gross, or -0.06% 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 MEME route is to buy spot on OKX and short the perpetual on Binance: -0.03% gross, -0.23% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot MEME arbitrage (buy on OKX, withdraw, deposit and sell on Bybit) 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 MEME 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.
