The widest PLAY perpetual spread is between Aster and Gate: long PLAY on Aster at $0.0262 and short on Gate at $0.0262 for +0.27% gross, or +0.11% 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 PLAY route is to buy spot on MEXC and short the perpetual on Gate: +0.31% gross, +0.11% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot PLAY arbitrage (buy on KuCoin, withdraw, deposit and sell on MEXC) shows -0.27% 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 PLAY 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.
