Why is the IOTA spread so high on some exchanges?

No route is worth a look right now; the engine's commonest warnings: even when the prices meet, closing crosses each leg's bid-ask spread, and that eats the profit; under $20 at the best price. We have no network status from Tokocrypto, BingX and Binance.US, so a transfer there cannot be checked.

Where is IOTA cheapest to buy?

Cheapest now on BingX: $0.04385; dearest on KuCoin: $0.044, 0.34% apart. 11 exchanges with a liquid IOTA market compared, at the mid between bid and ask.

Can I transfer IOTA between MEXC and KuCoin?

Not now: MEXC and KuCoin 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 IOTA right now?

Not on spot after fees: no spot route earns right now. The widest price gap is 0.34% (BingX → KuCoin), and trading fees and the withdrawal eat it.

What is the IOTA spread now?

0.34% between the cheapest (BingX) and the dearest (KuCoin) exchange, before fees. No route worth taking with an open transfer right now.

FAQ

Why is the IOTA spread so high on some exchanges?: No route is worth a look right now; the engine's commonest warnings: even when the prices meet, closing crosses each leg's bid-ask spread, and that eats the profit; under $20 at the best price. We have no network status from Tokocrypto, BingX and Binance.US, so a transfer there cannot be checked.
Where is IOTA cheapest to buy?: Cheapest now on BingX: $0.04385; dearest on KuCoin: $0.044, 0.34% apart. 11 exchanges with a liquid IOTA market compared, at the mid between bid and ask.
Can I transfer IOTA between MEXC and KuCoin?: Not now: MEXC and KuCoin 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 IOTA right now?: Not on spot after fees: no spot route earns right now. The widest price gap is 0.34% (BingX → KuCoin), and trading fees and the withdrawal eat it.
What is the IOTA spread now?: 0.34% between the cheapest (BingX) and the dearest (KuCoin) exchange, before fees. No route worth taking with an open transfer right now.
