The widest ONDO perpetual spread is between OKX and HTX: long ONDO on OKX at $0.4664 and short on HTX at $0.4679 for +0.32% gross, or +0.16% 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 +0.086% per day, which the position collects while it is open.
For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best ONDO route is to buy spot on KuCoin and short the perpetual on HTX: +0.25% gross, +0.05% net, with +0.015% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot ONDO arbitrage (buy on KuCoin, 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 ONDO 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.
