The Most Profitable Types of Crypto Arbitrage

[spamik30]

Hello everyone, this is the second article on crypto arbitrage. I apologize for the long delay in responding. I tried to publish several new articles, but they were removed and my account was restricted, lol (so I won't mention the names of exchanges, you can open coinmarketcap yourself and look at the list of exchanges where you can do arbitrage, I recommend taking exchanges up to the top 50). You can find the first article by its title if you haven't read it: "Cryptocurrency Arbitrage and How to Profit from It"


In that article, we discussed what crypto arbitrage is. I recommend checking it out, even if you're already familiar with crypto arbitrage.

Now, let's continue our journey. Today, we'll talk about the types of crypto arbitrage, their profitability, and how they differ from one another.

Somewhere in this article, I'll hide a hint on how and where to find a free arbitrage situation parser so you don't have to spend money while learning


Types of Crypto Arbitrage

1. Cross-exchange Arbitrage
Crypto cross-exchange arbitrage is the process of making a profit by capitalizing on price differences of a particular asset on different crypto exchanges. Crypto arbitrage between exchanges is conducted on different platforms offering non-matching prices.

For example: On Binance, the BTCUSDT token is priced at $59,600, while on Bybit, the same token is priced at $61,900. Even the most inexperienced users understand that we should buy it cheaper on the first exchange and sell it for more on the second. In this specific case, the spread (profit) per round would be 3.72%. Thus, if we have a deposit of $1,000, we would earn $37.20 from each round.

Now, everyone is wondering: how many such rounds can be made with this coin, and how long will it "live"? The "lifespan" of each arbitrage opportunity is influenced by many factors:
- The exchange where the opportunity was found
- The liquidity of the coin on that exchange
- The spread
- How many people noticed this opportunity (besides you)


And much more. We will discuss the lifespan of opportunities, liquidity, how to filter out bad opportunities from good ones, and everything related to this in one of the following articles.
2. Decentralized Arbitrage (DEX-CEX Arbitrage)

Decentralized crypto arbitrage occurs when the price of a certain crypto on a decentralized AMM market differs greatly from the spot market on regular exchanges.
Decentralized exchanges use Automated Market Makers (or AMMs) instead of order books. The AMM in DEXs sets the asset price in each liquidity pool by analyzing its internal supply and how it balances with its trading pair. This means that the price of an AMM changes automatically based on demand within its own closed ecosystem.

Because the closed DeFi ecosystem and its circumstances affect the price, you can capitalize on the price difference by buying a crypto on a DEX and selling it on a CEX, or vice versa. Decentralized exchange arbitrage is a more specific subset of cross-exchange arbitrage trading.


For example: buying a token on one of the DEXs and then transferring and selling the tokens on a CEX. Let's take PancakeSwap (not an ad) and Binance (not an ad) as an example.

Here, everything works the same as in Cross-exchange Arbitrage, but instead of transferring from one exchange to another, we use a DEX and an exchange. We buy the token on the DEX and sell it on the CEX. Occasionally, the reverse happens when the price on the DEX is higher than on the CEX.



Triangular Arbitrage (Intra-exchange arbitrage)

A triangle arbitrage strategy may appear intimidating since it requires an expert-level grasp of market pricing inefficiencies and complete knowledge of how to execute transactions to profit from them.

If you plan to participate in this type of trading, you should have a thorough understanding of crypto and an advanced understanding of arbitrage.

Triangular arbitrage takes advantage of **price discrepancies in the market** between three distinct cryptocurrencies. Depending on the price variances, you could employ a variety of techniques to capitalize on these differences. For example, you could place a buy-buy-sell order or a buy-sell-sell order.

Approach 1: BUY — BUY — SELL

1. Buy Bitcoin (BTC) with Tether (USDT)

2. Buy Ethereum (ETH) with Bitcoin (BTC)

3. Sell Ethereum (ETH) for Tether (USDT)


Approach 2: BUY — SELL — SELL

1. Buy Ethereum (ETH) with Tether (USDT)

2. Sell Ethereum (ETH) for Bitcoin (BTC)

3. Sell Bitcoin (BTC) for Tether (USDT)


These deals, like any other sort of arbitrage trading, must be completed quickly. Exchange inefficiencies cause trade execution delays, while market volatility causes price variations before a trade can be executed.



If you've read up to this point - well done! : D Leave a comment or reaction, ask any questions. This way I'll understand that you're interested, and I'll continue to write interesting posts for you. I always have something to share about crypto arbitrage

Do these opportunities actually exist on these exchanges? Especially the triangular method. Sounds like you would lose funds over the course of buying or selling multiple times.

 

[prime8]

Wouldn't the fees incurred to these transaction eat up all the profit? We make

 

[socialpump]

I think that to be in good profits with Crypto Arbitrage, you need a bot to do that

 

[vikash6767]

i have tried Sports arbitrage and ended up loosing alot due to the withdrawl restrictions, does this happens in this too? as with this margins getting our money double will take lot of time and 1 restrictions could eat our whole month's Profit.

Nice share OP. Keep adding value to BHW

Do these opportunities actually exist on these exchanges? Especially the triangular method. Sounds like you would lose funds over the course of buying or selling multiple times.

It depends on which type of arbitrage we're talking about. If it's about intra-exchange arbitrage, it's very difficult to do manually, so it's mainly done using bots

 

[spamik30]

Wouldn't the fees incurred to these transaction eat up all the profit? We make

Usually, in all decent parsers that parse arbitrage situations, all commissions are immediately factored into the profit for the bundle

 

[spamik30]

I think that to be in good profits with Crypto Arbitrage, you need a bot to do that

Yes, but we need a bot not in the sense that everyone thinks of when they hear the word 'bot'. In inter-exchange arbitrage, a bot cannot trade automatically; this is difficult to implement and wouldn't be worth it. Bots can only arbitrage on their own in intra-exchange arbitrage

 

[onlinemarketer12]

Wouldn't the fees incurred to these transaction eat up all the profit? We make

In most cases, that is what happens. Sometimes there will be profit but they will be very less and also there can be big losses in case of big price fluctiations all of sudden in between trades.

i have tried Sports arbitrage and ended up loosing alot due to the withdrawl restrictions, does this happens in this too? as with this margins getting our money double will take lot of time and 1 restrictions could eat our whole month's Profit.

What kind of restrictions are we talking about?

 

[vikash6767]

What kind of restrictions are we talking about?

Accounts restrictions

 

[savitaprasad]

This theory part is good but are you making any money with this method?

 

[spamik30]

Accounts restrictions

In more than a year of active work, I have not had this before, so most likely it is impossible

 

[Muriel]

Four years ago, some developers built this with a Bot and Smart Contract separately for each client ..
but it seems they are at a higher level now.

Arbitrage Bot for Flash Loan and Smart Contract. Bot take a million $ loan from Aave without cover and make arbitrate. Bot pay all fees for loan on stock markets and..
After Bot borrow loans money, he must re-pay it back to the same Smart Contract that gave him the loan in the same transaction! That means between getting the loan and repaying it, Bot only have fifteen seconds.

Bot create a custom function to combine all the transactions into one. And the best thing is that you get the loan any time, by anyone, without restrictions, without collateral.
