💸 What Is Arbitrage Trading?
Arbitrage is a trading strategy that utilizes the price differences of an asset in two (or more) markets to make a profit without significant risk.
Simple example:
> BTC on Binance = $60,000
BTC on KuCoin = $60,300
You buy on Binance, sell immediately on KuCoin → Profit $300 per BTC (not including fees & time).

⚙️ Types of Arbitrage in Crypto
1. 🔁 Exchange Arbitrage (Between Platforms)
Buy on exchange A (cheaper), sell on exchange B (more expensive).
Example: Binance vs OKX, KuCoin, Gate.io, etc.
2. ⛓️ Cross-chain Arbitrage
Similar to exchange arbitrage, but involves different blockchains.
Example: ETH on Ethereum vs ETH on Arbitrum/Solana.
3. ⚖️ Triangular Arbitrage
Take advantage of value imbalances between 3 pairs.
Example: USDT → BTC → ETH → USDT
Executed automatically to profit from inefficient conversions.
4. 🧠 DeFi Arbitrage
Arbitrage between DEX (decentralized exchanges) like Uniswap, PancakeSwap, SushiSwap.
Sometimes requires bots because price differences change quickly.
