RIVER arbitrage explained

Right now River (RIVER) trades on 10 venues we scan: 10 perpetual markets, 2 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on Bitget spot at $1.20 and the highest bid on HTX perp at $1.21.

The widest RIVER perpetual spread is between Binance and HTX: long RIVER on Binance at $1.20 and short on HTX at $1.21 for +0.33% gross, or +0.17% 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 -0.015% per day, which the position pays while it is open.

For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best RIVER route is to buy spot on Bitget and short the perpetual on HTX: +0.40% gross, +0.20% net, with +0.015% a day of funding on the short leg.

Spot–spot RIVER arbitrage (buy on Bitget, withdraw, deposit and sell on MEXC) 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 RIVER 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.
