Triangular Arbitrage
Triangular arbitrage is a strategy that exploits price discrepancies between three different currencies or assets. The trader exchanges one asset for a second, the second for a third, and the third back to the first, aiming to end up with more than the initial amount.
This process relies on the fact that the exchange rates between the three assets do not perfectly align. In crypto, this often involves trading between a base currency, a quote currency, and a third pair.
It is a highly competitive strategy that requires fast execution and low transaction costs. Like other forms of arbitrage, it helps maintain price consistency across the entire trading ecosystem.
