Topic: Arbitrage??? (Read 300 times)
Look at the automatic arbitrage platforms and applications for trading on two or even more crypto exchange markets simultaneously. These platforms work through APIs and analyze certain coin pairs, so you can see the opportunities to yield arbitrage profits in the real time almost with no risk.
So I live in the U.S and I have family in Korea. Obviously there is a great opportunity for arbitrage but was wondering if there were any downsides to it. I would buy bch/btc/eth here then send it to my cousin in Korea and she sells right away for 50-60 percent more. Is there anything wrong with this plan??
This is very good at doing, because in my country too many who do the arbitration to korea in januari ago and indeed the profit at that time sngatlah big compared to ordinary trading. it's really very lucky to have a relative there, our velocity of money will be very good at seeing such big profits
Founding the arbitrage opportunity is easy but it is hard to accelerate manually. There are many bots which have access to more than 20 cryptocurrency exchange and can monitor price difference between them with price discovery technics. Using bots is profitable than loosing this opportunity with fees and time/price change ratio.

Wow that's cool:) actually arbitrage helps in keeping the price of securities across the markets more or less same and therefore it help in better price discovery of an asset and also put an end to price variances in securities across various markets. It helps also in making the financial markets more efficient because imagine if there were no arbitrageurs than stocks would have kept trading at different prices in different markets leading to speculation by few individuals would have damaged the real investors confidence in the stock market.

It is the fantastic opportunity both for you and your cousin in Korea. This opportunity mustn't be thrown away even if the Government won't be so fond of it if they find out the origins where the transactions came from.
I doubt that they will track the suspicious movements of your transfers but if the cousin exaggerates with the transfers to the cash they might get suspicious.
Bitcoin as a decentralized currency is strongly opposing every government and I highly support you to drain the government, in this case, Korea, of their central funds.
You def. have the right idea, although a lot of the details are often overlooked in profiting from arbitrage. That's why I believe in this ICO bc they are aiming to make crypto easier to enter for all with their novice friendly UI and the first ever arbitrage exchange that will allow for less market volatility which keeps so many inexperienced and afraid people on the sidelines. Arbitrage with a legit company will provide a greater opportunity to profit in this economy.

I think it's not wrong.
If for individuals like you will benefit from the continuous minor differences which for investors is very unfortunate and detrimental.

Your cousin is going to have some troubles to go out with the money from korea into USA.
The airbitrage happens for a reason, if it was so simple to transfer funds between korea and aboard, then the airbitrage wouldn't happen at all, but because it is so hard and South Korean government won't let you do the transfer smoothly, that's keep the price at South Korea way above the other western countries.
You can try to make an airbitrage between altcoin exchange, it would be much more easier to transfer the funds between and can be done automatically by a bot.

You are going to pay huge taxes, and you need to verify your Korean trading account, how are you going to do it? a lot of those exchanges are only accepting Korean residents, and zero tolerance about the US, because of the SEC laws.

There’s no wrong with your plan and what i only say is? Your so lick that you have family in korea that can manipulate or can gain easy money in just foing arbitage. Goodluck and just be carefull because you can also banned in there trading exchanges
Do this with small amount first and if you think it's profitable and you can do it with large sums of money with BCH/BTC/ETH make sure that you are familiar with what you are doing. Because if you will do this with small amount all the time and you will be eaten by the fees except you'll send it back through ETH which has lower fee. Just make sure that you are not violating any law on your end and as well on your cousin's end.
For sure everybody had an experience of this because Arbitrage is commonly used by people because it is buying and selling of assets and currency. Bitcoin is a good example of Arbitrage because it talks about vital currency in which you can do the transaction trasparency without the real money that being hand in. If you are good in bitcoin your currency is going bigger and bigger then that what we called an instant millioner because it proven already.
he just take advantage from the current price in there . i think its good enough . you can buy something in there that has the same price in around the world . like google wallet . steam wallet and selling . ( if the problem about wire internatonal transfer )

Absolutely not so!)You in this case will be considered to have received a profit, which means that you are obliged to pay tax on profitability, it is not important your cousin or brother!

This is going to be 1000x harder than you think. What's wrong with the plan? Um how exactly are you going to get your money back out? Your cousin would end up with all of the Korean won and you'd have 0 USD.
You can try to send funds outside of Korea but I mean, isn't that getting so much stricter right now? It's a good idea to do a test, but I wouldn't expect this to be a great opportunity. The idea of why there is such a massive price difference is mainly because no one can get their money out of the country.

A nice idea, but for this to be executed smoothly and properly, your cousin needs to be registered and fully verified on the Korean exchanges so that there will be no questions asked if the amount you've been sending became increasingly high. You also need to make sure that your cousin is fast enough to execute any trades needed in order to get a decent amount of profits and for your arbitraging activity to become viable in the long run. I myself am thinking of doing such, but with the sluggishness of the network as of these moments, the market has moved before I even get 1 confirmation on my transaction.
yes agree nothing wrong with that arbitrage its to take advantage from different current price in market value .
you can go a head . but i look some review in exchange in korea . some of them is a fake . maybe you can review before make a deal or make a big deal from one of them . thats my advice . good luck .

I think it's good because we do arbitrage is to gain profit from the difference of price and exchange rate of currency, so for me this is legitimate only and many people who do something like this
So I did this and the money is stuck on a KEB Hana Bank account now. Made 35% but it is stuck as when I tried to wire it back to the US account the bank called me the next day and said they are not allowed to send any money out made on Crypto. They track now when wires go abroad. This was Bithumb and about 9k USD going out (below 10k on purpose).
I am thinking of setting up an arbitrage company with the sole business purpose of this, then that should be fine. I am ok to pay takes on the profit. It is wrong that this is not working at all.

It's a good plan but the issue will be with fiat transfers. Banks would be alerted then if they detect an account having large amount getting in and out of the accounts. If the plan though would not involve any fiat transfer like you send an eth there and he would sell it for any other coin other than fiat then it would be a good plan. The only issue in here is when you convert your gains to fiat because banks are very particular now about cryptocurrency transactions and you should take into account too the fees involved if it is worth it.
