Portal to Bitcoin (PTB) arbitrage strategy
No PTB 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 Gate → DigiFinex: the spread opened there 329 times in 7 days, 205 of them for a minute or longer; it usually lasts 1 min 44 s.
- The transfer is closed now: DigiFinex has closed PTB deposits. Until it reopens, the route only works with coins already on DigiFinex.
- Set an alert on the route: you hear when the spread pays after fees. Then buy on Gate and sell on DigiFinex.
