No transfer is needed: both positions stay on their exchanges until the prices converge. The funding difference on this pair is +0.001% per day, which the position collects while it is open.
For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best TAKE route is to buy spot on Gate and short the perpetual on MEXC: +0.27% gross, +0.07% net, with +0.126% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot TAKE arbitrage (buy on MEXC, withdraw, deposit and sell on Gate) shows -0.17% 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 TAKE 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.
