5 Altcoins Hunted by Arbitrageurs, Cross-Exchange Price Differences Appear Routinely

Jakarta, Pintu News – In the highly fragmented crypto world, cross-exchange or cross-chain price gaps often arise and become the target of arbitrageurs. Here are five altcoins that are interesting on that front – note: this is not investment advice, just education.

1. Solana (SOL) – great liquidity, active cross-exchange

Solana is one of the layer-1 altcoins whose liquidity and transaction volume are large enough that the opportunity for price differences between exchanges or between chains can arise. Arbitrage opportunities arise due to “CEX-to-DEX flows, especially with stablecoins and altcoins like SOL, ARB or AVAX”.

As SOLs are widely traded across multiple platforms and networks with low transaction fees, execution differences or transfer delays between exchanges can create gaps. For arbitrageurs, SOLs can be an asset to monitor when price gaps arise between exchanges.

2. Avalanche (AVAX) – dynamic network, many cross-platform listings

Avalanche is also referred to in the context of arbitrage of CEX-to-DEX flows, as mentioned in the point above. Since AVAX has listings on multiple exchanges and its network supports fast transaction protocols, price differences between platforms can arise and be exploited.

Arbitrageurs who have a cross-exchange or cross-chain strategy will consider AVAX as a candidate altcoin that is quite liquid but still has potential price gaps. It doesn’t mean that the gap is big every time, but the frequency is higher than that of very small tokens.

3. Polkadot (POL) – multi-chain ecosystem, network arbitrage opportunities

Polkadot as an interoperability network and established altcoin has enough liquidity to enable arbitrage. While it is not specifically mentioned in the public arbitrage research that “POL is a key arbitrage altcoin”, the concept of cross-chain or cross-exchange arbitrage includes assets like DOT due to its multi-chain nature and listing on multiple exchanges.

As a note: research related to arbitrage suggests that market fragmentation and liquidity differences between exchanges create arbitrage opportunities. Therefore, POL is among the altcoins worth monitoring by arbitrageurs.

4. Chainlink (LINK) – a large oracle token with multiple listings

Chainlink has entered many ecosystems and is widely traded, so its liquidity is sufficient to allow arbitrage. In arbitrage guides, large-cap altcoins are cited as the most suitable assets for arbitrage strategies due to their liquidity and frequency of listing.

For arbitrageurs who are prepared to hold funds across multiple exchanges and have automated systems in place – LINK can be one of the inter-exchange price gap targets that can be monitored. However, arbitrage margins are usually small and risks such as fees and slippage remain.

5. Stellar (XLM) – established altcoin with global listing, potential regional spread

Stellar is an established altcoin that has listings on many global and regional exchanges. In research on arbitrage “spatial arbitrage – the same token trades at different prices across various exchanges and blockchain networks” it was mentioned that altcoins like XLM that are listed in many geographies can have price differences between regional exchanges.

Arbitrageurs who take advantage of price gaps between regions – e.g. Asian vs Western exchanges – could target XLM as one of their assets as regional gaps appear more frequently for widely listed altcoins with different regional liquidity.

Conclusion

The five altcoins above – Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), Polkadot (POL), Chainlink (LINK), and Stellar (XLM) – exhibit characteristics that arbitrageurs look for: sufficient liquidity, listing on multiple (or regional) exchanges, and a network/segmentation that allows for inter-exchange or inter-chain price differences.

But it’s important to remember: price gaps don’t appear regularly for all altcoins, opportunities can be very small or quickly disappear. In addition, transaction fees, inter-exchange transfers, slippage and technical risks remain. This article is educational/informative in nature, not an investment recommendation.
