- Arbitrage is simultaneously buying and selling securities, currency, or commodities in different markets to take advantage of differing prices for the same asset.
- Pricing differs because of supply and demand, which is influenced by access to information and at times regulation and / or capital constraints.
- The crypto-arbitrage trade exists because the price of a cryptocurrencies in South Africa is more expensive than other countries due to our exchange control.
