The widest WLFI perpetual spread is between Bitget and Aster: long WLFI on Bitget at $0.0549 and short on Aster at $0.055 for +0.20% gross, or +0.04% 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 +0.196% per day, which the position collects while it is open.
For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best WLFI route is to buy spot on MEXC and short the perpetual on Aster: +0.13% gross, -0.07% net, with +0.208% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot WLFI arbitrage (buy on MEXC, withdraw, deposit and sell on Gate) shows +0.04% 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 WLFI 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.
