contents We prove that the Sinkhorn algorithm converges at a rate of $O(k^{-1} \log k)$ in $\ell_1$-norm marginal error, in the asymptotically scalable case. This almost closes the gap between the lower bound $Ω(k^{-1})$ (Qu et al., 2025) and the previously best known upper bound $O(k^{-1/2})$ (Léger, 2021), and generalizes the analysis for the positive case by Dvurechensky et al. (2018).
