VET arbitrage explained
Right now VeChain (VET) trades on 7 venues we scan: 7 perpetual markets, 6 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on Gate perp at $0.008251 and the highest bid on Bybit spot at $0.008267.
The widest VET perpetual spread is between Gate and KuCoin: long VET on Gate at $0.008251 and short on KuCoin at $0.008263 for +0.15% gross, or -0.01% 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 VET route is to buy spot on Gate and short the perpetual on KuCoin: -0.06% gross, -0.26% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot VET arbitrage (buy on Gate, withdraw, deposit and sell on Bybit) 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 VET 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.
