What is Cross Exchange Arbitrage?
Cross exchange arbitrage refers to the practice of exploiting price differences of the same crypto asset across different exchanges (both CEX and DEX) to make a profit. This involves buying a crypto asset at a lower price on one exchange and selling it at a higher price on another exchange.
Using this mechanism prices will level out across exchanges thus creating a unified single price no matter where you purchase the token. Consistent pricing across exchanges due to arbitrage can build trust among investors and users, as it reduces the risk of encountering significantly different prices on different platforms.
