NPC arbitrage explained

Right now Non-Playable Coin (NPC) trades on 4 venues we scan: 2 perpetual markets, 4 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on Gate spot at $0.022 and the highest bid on KuCoin spot at $0.0221.

The widest NPC perpetual spread is between KuCoin and MEXC: long NPC on KuCoin at $0.0221 and short on MEXC at $0.0219 for -0.74% gross, or -0.90% 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 +0.090% per day, which the position collects while it is open.

For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best NPC route is to buy spot on Gate and short the perpetual on MEXC: -0.45% gross, -0.65% net, with +0.120% a day of funding on the short leg.

Spot–spot NPC arbitrage (buy on Gate, withdraw, deposit and sell on KuCoin) shows +0.07% 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 NPC 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.
