Ever since January<\/strong>, cryptocurrencies have seen a considerable decline<\/strong><\/a>. As a result, current investors are selling off their assets at a lower price<\/strong>. On the other hand, there is a\u00a0class of investors<\/strong> that are making profits in the bear market. These consumers use the arbitrage technique<\/strong> to make profits<\/strong>.

While referencing the arbitrage strategy<\/strong> that they took into consideration, co-founder and CEO of Nickel Digital Asset Management, Anatoly Crachilov<\/strong>, came forward to issue a<\/span> statement<\/a><\/strong> that when everyone else suffered as a result of the collapse<\/strong> of the crypto market in May<\/strong>, they benefitted off of it by earning a decent profit<\/strong>. The company experienced a rise of 40 points<\/strong> in their basis profits in May. This indicates that the arb trading strategy is fetching positive results<\/strong> for several users.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is Arbitrage Trading any Better?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Defined in simple terms, Arbitrage trading revolves around the concept of purchasing a certain asset in a cheaper venue<\/strong>. Later, investors sell<\/strong> it almost immediately at a different place<\/strong> where a greater price is offered<\/strong> for the same asset. Furthermore, the investors only cash on the price difference<\/strong> while maintaining a neutral attitude<\/strong> towards the asset.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, it is worth noting that arbitrage trading is not for everyone<\/strong>. Arbitrage caters to only the greater market players<\/strong> who have a considerable amount of investment to pump<\/strong> into their ventures. Based on this criterion, this strategy can prove to be quite beneficial<\/strong> for any investor who matches the set criteria in any way possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arbitrage is becoming a highly popular strategy<\/strong> in multiple different markets for quite some time now. The main reason for its popularity is possibly the fact that it plays a considerable role in boosting hundreds of different exchanges<\/strong> in an environment of greater and inconsistent regulations<\/strong>. Due to the lack of interconnectivity<\/strong> between different crypto markets, arbitrage trading presents itself to be very beneficial<\/strong>. There are considerable price differences between exchanges.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the benefits arbitrage trading offers, there might also be certain risks<\/strong> involved. Market watchers keep their eyes open for any potential pitfalls<\/strong> too. Freezing up of assets<\/strong> might inevitably rob arbitrage traders of their rights to trade and conduct transactions<\/strong>. Moreover, venues in smaller countries<\/strong> undergo minor regulations. Thus, they provide good opportunities<\/strong> to arbitrage traders. However, they also pose extra risks<\/strong> to the investors at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
