XDC arbitrage explained
Right now XDC Network (XDC) trades on 6 venues we scan: 5 perpetual markets, 5 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on Gate perp at $0.0323 and the highest bid on KuCoin perp at $0.0325.
The widest XDC perpetual spread is between Gate and KuCoin: long XDC on Gate at $0.0323 and short on KuCoin at $0.0325 for +0.53% gross, or +0.37% 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 XDC route is to buy spot on Bitget and short the perpetual on KuCoin: +0.15% gross, -0.05% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot XDC arbitrage (buy on Bitget, withdraw, deposit and sell on Bybit) shows 0.00% 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 XDC 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.
