NIL arbitrage explained
Right now Nillion (NIL) trades on 10 venues we scan: 10 perpetual markets, 5 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on Binance perp at $0.0921 and the highest bid on Bybit perp at $0.0923.
The widest NIL perpetual spread is between Binance and Bybit: long NIL on Binance at $0.0921 and short on Bybit at $0.0923 for +0.20% gross, or +0.04% 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 NIL route is to buy spot on Binance and short the perpetual on Bybit: +0.10% gross, -0.10% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot NIL arbitrage (buy on KuCoin, withdraw, deposit and sell on Binance) 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 NIL 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.
