US arbitrage explained

Right now Talus (US) trades on 8 venues we scan: 8 perpetual markets, 4 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on Bitget spot at $0.0147 and the highest bid on Variational perp at $0.0147.

The widest US perpetual spread is between KuCoin and Variational: long US on KuCoin at $0.0147 and short on Variational at $0.0147 for +0.16% gross, or -0.00% 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 pays while it is open.

For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best US route is to buy spot on Bitget and short the perpetual on Variational: +0.18% gross, -0.02% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.

Spot–spot US arbitrage (buy on Bitget, withdraw, deposit and sell on Gate) 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 US 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.

Is there a US arbitrage opportunity right now?

The best US route right now is to buy on KuCoin → sell on Variational (Perp–Perp): +0.16% gross and -0.00% after fees. After fees it is not profitable, which is normal for liquid coins.

Which exchange has the cheapest US?

Bitget (spot) has the lowest US ask at $0.0147, and Variational (perp) the highest bid at $0.0147. Prices update every 15 seconds on this page.

How many exchanges list US?

ArbiLayer tracks 12 US markets on 8 venues: 8 perpetual, 4 spot and 0 DEX pools.

How do I arbitrage US without transferring coins?

Use two perpetual contracts: go long US on the cheaper exchange (KuCoin now) and short it on the more expensive one (Variational), then close both legs when the spread converges. The coins never move between exchanges.
