Spot Arbitrage

Best for users who want a straightforward buy-low and sell-high route across markets.

Simple meaningSpot arbitrage compares the same coin on two different exchanges. If BTC is cheaper on one exchange and higher on another, the trader reviews whether the difference is large enough after fees, withdrawal time and liquidity.
How it worksBuy the asset where the live quote is lower, then sell it where the quote is higher after fees, order-book depth and transfer limits are considered.
ExampleExample: BTC/USDT is lower on Exchange A and higher on Exchange B. The visible spread is useful only if trading fees, withdrawal fees and timing still leave a positive difference.
Basic steps01Compare the same trading pair across exchanges02Check buy price, sell price, spread, fees and liquidity03Confirm the network or settlement route is fast enough04Execute only when the remaining difference fits your risk mode

Risk focusFees, withdrawal delays, network congestion and spread compression can reduce or remove the visible profit window.
Three-pair conversion routes

Triangular Arbitrage

Best for active users who understand pair rotation and want opportunities inside one exchange or liquidity venue.

Simple meaningTriangular arbitrage does not always require moving funds between exchanges. It looks for a pricing mismatch between three pairs on the same exchange or venue, then rotates through those pairs.
How it worksRotate through three pairs, such as USDT to BTC, BTC to ETH, then ETH back to USDT, aiming to finish with more starting currency after conversion fees.
ExampleExample: Start with USDT, buy BTC, use BTC to buy ETH, then sell ETH back to USDT. If all three quotes align well, the final USDT amount can be higher than the starting amount.
Basic steps01Start with one base currency such as USDT02Find three connected pairs with a pricing mismatch03Review fees and depth for all three conversions04Complete the rotation quickly before one pair changes
Good fit forFast exchange executionUsers comfortable comparing multiple pairsRoutes where assets stay on one venueTraders who understand pair conversion math
Risk focusSlippage, order book depth and timing matter because all three conversions must stay profitable together.
Rate and premium differences

Funding Rate Arbitrage

Best for advanced users who can monitor funding rates, price premiums, futures rules and hedge exposure carefully.

Simple meaningFunding rate arbitrage studies the difference between spot markets and perpetual futures markets. Traders watch funding payments, futures premiums and hedge structure before choosing a route.
How it worksCompare spot and derivatives markets, then track funding rates or price premiums that may create a controlled spread opportunity for advanced review.
ExampleExample: A trader may hold a spot position while using a futures position to balance exposure, then monitor whether funding payments and price premium create a useful spread.
Basic steps01Compare spot price, futures price and funding rate02Review margin rules, liquidation distance and exchange limits03Check whether hedge exposure is balanced04Monitor funding changes until the route is closed
Good fit forVIP-style strategy reviewUsers who understand hedge disciplineMarket-neutral planning where availableAdvanced traders comfortable with futures concepts
Risk focusLiquidation risk, changing funding rates, margin rules and exchange conditions can make this strategy unsuitable for beginners.
