Arbitrage

Profiting from price differences of the same asset across different markets.

Definition

Profiting from price differences of the same asset across different markets. If Bitcoin trades at $50,000 on one exchange and $50,100 on another, arbitrageurs buy low and sell high simultaneously. Bots do most of this now because the opportunities disappear in milliseconds.
