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 MEXC spot at $0.0148 and the highest bid on Variational perp at $0.0148.

The widest US perpetual spread is between KuCoin and Variational: long US on KuCoin at $0.0148 and short on Variational at $0.0148 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 MEXC and short the perpetual on Variational: +0.20% gross, +0.00% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.

Spot–spot US arbitrage (buy on MEXC, withdraw, deposit and sell on Gate) shows +0.03% 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.
