USTC arbitrage explained

Right now TerraClassicUSD (USTC) trades on 7 venues we scan: 7 perpetual markets, 6 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on KuCoin spot at $0.00571 and the highest bid on MEXC perp at $0.005723.

The widest USTC perpetual spread is between Gate and Binance: long USTC on Gate at $0.005721 and short on Binance at $0.005723 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 0.000% per day, which the position collects while it is open.

For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best USTC route is to buy spot on KuCoin and short the perpetual on Binance: +0.23% gross, +0.03% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.

Spot–spot USTC arbitrage (buy on KuCoin, withdraw, deposit and sell on Binance) shows +0.18% 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 USTC 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.
