Frequently asked questions
Why do extreme spread readings need an extra check?
Unusually large price gaps can come from differences between the assets themselves, from withdrawal restrictions, or from the trading terms of individual venues.
To keep the results relevant, an additional filter is applied to price deviation, which rules out combinations that may be incorrect.
Are the costs of moving assets included?
The additional costs of withdrawing and transferring assets are treated separately, because they depend on the network chosen and on the terms of the platform involved.
A separate spot arbitrage calculator is provided for a more detailed estimate.
How cross-exchange arbitrage works
The same digital asset can be priced differently depending on the trading venue and market conditions. Comparing price levels makes it possible to spot potential gaps between markets and to judge the scope for moving between exchanges.
The analysis takes in the opposing price offers, the trading volume available and the associated fees. The resulting figures show how efficient a given direction may be once the main trading costs are taken into account.
Selection criteria
To keep the analytical results relevant, additional criteria are applied to market activity and price deviation.
These cover the availability of the required volume, the structure of the offers and whether the assets being compared actually match. That reduces the influence of thin market data and of price gaps that may be incorrect.
Points to check
Before judging whether a cross-exchange operation is workable, a number of technical and market parameters are worth taking into account:
- Asset identity — whether the contract addresses and token characteristics match across platforms.
- Operational availability — the state of deposits and withdrawals, the networks supported and the costs involved.
- Market liquidity — order book depth and whether the intended size can be filled without moving the price significantly.
Methodology and principles of analytical processing
Forming and structuring the data
The analytical system brings disparate market information together into a single structure, accounting for the specifics of trading directions and the individual characteristics of each platform. That keeps the presentation consistent and the key parameters comparable.
Criteria for forming the results
Forming the analytical selection takes into account the completeness, availability and reliability of the source information. Parameters that meet the established processing and confirmation criteria are included in the calculations. Insufficiently substantiated values are not used in the final results.
Currency of the analytical information
The information presented is kept current through regular refreshing and reconciliation of the analytical parameters. How often that happens is determined by the nature of each category of data and the way it is processed.
Individual coins
Every coin has its own transfer story, and it decides whether a route is executable at all.
Bitcoin arbitrageWhere bitcoin is cheaper and where it is dearer right now. And why arbitrage on it works differently from every other coin.
Ethereum arbitrageWhere ether is cheaper and dearer right now. And why the deciding factor is not price but the network you move it over.
USDT arbitrageA coin that should cost a dollar but costs different amounts on different exchanges. Where the difference comes from and how to use it.
USDC arbitrageThe market's second dollar. It should cost exactly what the first one does — and the gaps in that "exactly" are the routes.
Solana arbitrageA fast network, cheap transfers and genuine volatility — the combination where spreads both appear and stay executable.
XRP arbitrageOne of the easiest coins to move between exchanges — and one of the most dangerous if you are careless.
Dogecoin arbitrageA coin that moves on news rather than fundamentals — and so diverges between exchanges more often than anything else in the top ten.
Tron arbitrageA coin people hold to move USDT rather than for itself — and that shapes its market.
BNB arbitrageOne exchange's coin that trades on many others — which is exactly where its spreads come from.Related tools
