#ArbitrageTradingStrategy

Arbitrage trading is one of the smartest and lowest-risk strategies in crypto when done right. It involves buying an asset on one exchange at a lower price and selling it on another at a higher price, profiting from the price difference.

🔍 How Does It Work?

💡 Example:

Buy 1 BTC for $111,000 on Binance

Sell 1 BTC for $111,300 on Coinbase

Profit = $300 (minus fees)

This works because crypto markets are decentralized and prices vary slightly across platforms.

⚙️ Types of Arbitrage in Crypto

1. Exchange Arbitrage – Classic buy/sell between two different exchanges

2. Triangular Arbitrage – Profiting from price differences between three pairs within the same exchange (e.g., BTC/ETH, ETH/USDT, BTC/USDT)

3. Statistical Arbitrage – Using algorithms or bots to exploit tiny, frequent price inefficiencies

4. Cross-Border Arbitrage – Using regional price differences (e.g., US vs. South Korea pricing — “Kimchi Premium”)

Use trading bots for speed (e.g., Hummingbot, Coinrule)
