IOST right now

IOST is cheapest on LBank ($0.000756) and dearest on DigiFinex ($0.0007705): 1.92% apart across 11 exchanges with a liquid spot market, before fees.

OKX lists another token on spot under the IOST ticker: its spot is left out of the price and the spot exchange count (perps are counted on their own).

36 routes in profit after fees are worth a look ("take" or "risky"); the best: WEEX → DigiFinex, 1.15%.

Over 7 days a spread in profit opened 26,840 times, and 14,098 of them lasted a minute or longer; one usually closed within 1 min 39 s.

Funding per 8 hours runs from −0.4600% on Bitget to 0.0100% on Aster, across 12 exchanges (outliers, markets under $50k a day and exchanges publishing no volume left out).

IOST arbitrage strategy

No IOST 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:

  1. Watch Gate → MEXC: the spread opened there 191 times in 7 days, 123 of them for a minute or longer; it usually lasts 2 min 54 s.
  2. The transfer is ready: IOST moves from Gate to MEXC on IOST. Keep USDT on Gate and IOST on MEXC so you do not wait for it.
  3. Set an alert on the route: you hear when the spread pays after fees. Then buy on Gate and sell on MEXC.

FAQ

Is there an arbitrage opportunity in IOST right now?

36 routes are open now; the best nets 0.22% after trading and withdrawal fees between Binance and MEXC.

Why is the IOST spread so high on some exchanges?

OKX quotes another token on spot under the IOST ticker; those markets are left out of the price. 36 routes in profit after fees are worth a look ("take" or "risky"); the engine's commonest warnings: profit under $1; closing in profit rarely happens: the gap holds. We have no network status from Tokocrypto, WEEX and WhiteBIT +3, so a transfer there cannot be checked.

Where is IOST cheapest to buy?

Cheapest now on LBank: $0.000756; dearest on DigiFinex: $0.0007705, 1.92% apart. 11 exchanges with a liquid IOST market compared, at the mid between bid and ask.

Can I transfer IOST between LBank and DigiFinex?

Not now: LBank has closed IOST withdrawals. The networks' status is checked every 5 minutes; the networks table below shows what is open.

What is the IOST spread now?

1.92% between the cheapest (LBank) and the dearest (DigiFinex) exchange, before fees. No route worth taking with an open transfer right now.
