SEI arbitrage explained
Right now Sei (SEI) trades on 10 venues we scan: 10 perpetual markets, 7 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on MEXC perp at $0.0686 and the highest bid on Bybit spot at $0.0687.
The widest SEI perpetual spread is between Binance and OKX: long SEI on Binance at $0.0686 and short on OKX at $0.0686 for +0.03% gross, or -0.13% 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 +0.006% per day, which the position collects while it is open.
For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best SEI route is to buy spot on Bitget and short the perpetual on OKX: -0.04% gross, -0.24% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot SEI arbitrage (buy on Bitget, withdraw, deposit and sell on Bybit) shows +0.01% 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 SEI 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.
