Bitcoin is known as digital gold. It is treasured as an investment asset. Much like the famous yellow metal, bitcoin (“BTC”) does not offer income through dividends or interest. This poses a challenge for investors seeking regular cashflows and income. One strategy that skilled investors use to turn BTC into an income generating asset is the cash and carry trade...
For years I have been talking about using futures products to LOCK IN the fiat value of Bitcoin and give investors the added bonus of collecting a return based on the arbitrage. We are once again in a big bullish cycle which is driving up the futures premiums to all time highs creating OPPORTUNITY . In the FTX:BTC1231 for instance as of writing there is a...
For at least three years now I have been advocating for the Bitmex futures "Cash and Carry" trade which is an arbitrage of the quarterly futures contracts versus the spot price of Bitcoin. With this recent selloff and hedge opportunity I wanted to demonstrate once again how this trade played out and its benefits. I've been telling people to do this not only in...
How to make money on some altas that go completely against the Bitcoin trend or are ahead / behind? How to use it for profit taking? The cycle on the principle of working on btc / usd - alt / usd - btc / usd. On many coins, a downward channel has now formed, both in the Alt / btc and Alt / USD pairs, most go synchronously to bitcoin. Which is logical, as bitcoin...

During the 2017 Bull run I started noticing arbitrage spreads occurring quite often in cryptocurrency markets. I was able to stumble upon a few of these as they occurred making an average of 20% or more each trade in just minutes. I knew I missed a lot and I wanted to get alerted to these in real-time which is why I created my own arbitrage platform. Here is a...
There's been another big deal developing ($29-30B) so I figured I'd post another arbitrage, in this case, 'risk arb' or Merger Arbitrage. Fox needs to raise its offer of 10.75 pounds per share for the 61 percent of the British pay-TV company it doesn’t already own, in order to challenge Comcast’s 12.50 pounds per share bid. Comcast, which already won U.K....
Comparing Price Movements of one Crypto-Currency on multiple Crypto Exchanges can be very profitable! My approach is to compare the Movements on an Exchange with high Volume with the price Movement on an Exchange with low Volume. The Hypothesis is that if the Price on the low Volume Exchange is falling, while the Price is rising on a high Volume Exchange, the...
What you are looking at here is an interesting ratio. First part is the ETHUSD/ETHEUR ratio, as given by Kraken. This simply gives the EURUSD ratio in terms of ETH. Theoretically, this should be the exact EURUSD as given by forex, but it sometimes isn't. So if we look at the (ETHUSD/ETHEUR) ratio and compare it to the real EURUSD ratio, it looks like this:...
