Why is the Arbitrum (ARB) spread so high on some exchanges?

2 routes in profit after fees are worth a look ("take" or "risky"); the engine's commonest warnings: even when the prices meet, closing crosses each leg's bid-ask spread, and that eats the profit; profit under $1. We have no network status from Tokocrypto, Kraken and P2B +5, so a transfer there cannot be checked.

Where is Arbitrum (ARB) cheapest to buy?

Cheapest now on Poloniex: $0.1675; dearest on Bitfinex: $0.167715, 0.13% apart. 28 exchanges with a liquid ARB market compared, at the mid between bid and ask.

Can I transfer Arbitrum (ARB) between Poloniex and Bitfinex?

Yes: withdrawals from Poloniex and deposits to Bitfinex are open now on ARB, a withdrawal fee of 2 ARB. The networks' status is checked every 5 minutes; every network is in the table below.

Is there an arbitrage opportunity in Arbitrum (ARB) right now?

Yes, in futures (no transfer: a long and a short): 2 routes are worth a look ("take" or "risky"), the first MEXC → Hyperliquid, 0.02%, marked "risky". Not on spot after fees: no spot route earns right now. The widest price gap is 0.13% (Poloniex → Bitfinex), and trading fees and the withdrawal eat it. In 7 days, gaps of a minute or longer opened most often between Poloniex and Phemex: 214 times.

Watch Poloniex → Phemex: the spread opened there 577 times in 7 days, 214 of them for a minute or longer; it usually lasts 15 s.
Check the transfer in advance: Poloniex or Phemex does not publish its network status.
Set an alert on the route: you hear when the spread pays after fees. Then buy on Poloniex and sell on Phemex.
