Crypto arbitrage — buying on one exchange and selling on another at a higher price — is one of the oldest trading strategies. Here's how to automate it.
Types of Arbitrage
- Simple arbitrage — Same asset, different exchange
- Triangular arbitrage — Three pairs on one exchange
- Cross-chain arbitrage — Same asset, different blockchain
Requirements
You need: price data from multiple exchanges, fast execution, and enough capital to make it worthwhile. The CryptoBoss API provides real-time prices across all major exchanges.
Example
BTC price on Binance: $61,200
BTC price on Kraken: $61,350
Spread: 0.24% → Profit after fees: ~0.10%
