Arbitrage
The practice of exploiting price differences for the same asset across different markets or exchanges to earn a risk-free profit. In crypto, arbitrage opportunities arise between centralized exchanges, decentralized exchanges, and cross-chain markets. Automated bots execute most crypto arbitrage, and the practice helps maintain price efficiency across markets.
