💸 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.
