USDe Arbitrage Volume

Overview

Arbitrage involves trading price differences of the same asset across different markets to make a profit. The "daily arbitrage volume" tracks how much capital is utilized in such activities on a day-to-day basis, whereas the "cumulative arbitrage volume" adds up these daily volumes over a specified period, providing insights into long-term trends and patterns.

How can I use it?

High arbitrage volumes can indicate high liquidity, as large volumes of trades are typically needed to take advantage of small price differences across markets. Persistent high arbitrage volumes may suggest inefficiencies in the market, as arbitrage exists primarily due to pricing discrepancies between markets. Conversely, low arbitrage volumes over time could indicate that markets are becoming more efficient.

Understanding both the daily and cumulative volumes helps arbitrageurs gauge the risk and potential return of their strategies. Larger volumes might suggest more competition and smaller profit margins, influencing the timing and scale of trades.
