USDC arbitrage explained

Right now USDC trades on 8 venues we scan: 7 perpetual markets, 7 spot markets and 1 DEX pool. The lowest ask is on Gate perp at $0.9994 and the highest bid on OKX perp at $1.00.

The widest USDC perpetual spread is between Gate and OKX: long USDC on Gate at $0.9994 and short on OKX at $1.00 for +0.09% gross, or -0.07% 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 USDC route is to buy spot on KuCoin and short the perpetual on OKX: +0.02% gross, -0.18% net.

Spot–spot USDC arbitrage (buy on KuCoin, withdraw, deposit and sell on OKX) 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 USDC 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.

How do I arbitrage USDC without transferring coins?

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