Why is the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) spread so high on some exchanges?

4 routes in profit after fees are worth a look ("take" or "risky"); the engine's commonest warnings: best-level size unknown; the current rate is far above what the pair earned over the past days: likely a one-off spike. We have no network status from Tokocrypto, P2B and Kraken +7, so a transfer there cannot be checked.

Where is Bitcoin Cash (BCH) cheapest to buy?

Cheapest now on HTX: $275.285; dearest on Bitfinex: $275.9499, 0.24% apart. 30 exchanges with a liquid BCH market compared, at the mid between bid and ask.

Can I transfer Bitcoin Cash (BCH) between HTX and Bitfinex?

Not now: HTX and Bitfinex share no network with both withdrawals and deposits open. The networks' status is checked every 5 minutes; the networks table below shows what is open.

Is there an arbitrage opportunity in Bitcoin Cash (BCH) right now?

Yes, in futures (no transfer: a long and a short): 1 route is worth a look ("take" or "risky"), the first BloFin → MEXC, 0.03%, marked "risky". Not on spot after fees: no spot route earns right now. The widest price gap is 0.24% (HTX → Bitfinex), and trading fees and the withdrawal eat it. In 7 days, gaps of a minute or longer opened most often between WhiteBIT and OKX: 6 times.

What is the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) spread now?

0.24% between the cheapest (HTX) and the dearest (Bitfinex) exchange, before fees. No route worth taking with an open transfer right now.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) arbitrage strategy

No BCH route worth taking with an open transfer right now. Gaps of a minute or longer open several times a week, though — here is how to catch the next one:

Watch WhiteBIT BCH/USDC → OKX: the spread opened there 7 times in 7 days, 6 of them for a minute or longer; it usually lasts 5 min 24 s.
The transfer is ready: BCH moves from WhiteBIT to OKX on BCH, withdrawal fee 0.00055 BCH. Keep USDC on WhiteBIT and BCH on OKX so you do not wait for it.
Set an alert on the route: you hear when the spread pays after fees. Then buy on WhiteBIT and sell on OKX.
