What Is OTC Arbitrage

Understand OTC arbitrage from the spread, execution, and reference-rate side.

What you can see on this page

What Is OTC Arbitrage is designed around OTC arbitrage, OTC spread tracking, fiat reference rates, and spread history rather than raw prices alone.

The server keeps collecting fiat references, OTC quotes, and spread history even when the browser is closed, so crawlers and users can land on a page with meaningful context.

The core idea behind OTC arbitrage

The raw quote is never the whole story. A spread only matters when it is compared to a benchmark, observed across more than one visible offer, and judged against your real execution path.

That is why a useful OTC arbitrage page has to include reference rates, market status, and history rather than only a single live price.

Why the benchmark and market status matter

A market can appear as healthy, empty, or unavailable depending on public offer supply, regional access, and upstream API conditions.

In practice, a quote only becomes interesting when it stays meaningfully away from the benchmark and remains visible long enough to matter. That is why coinpay keeps both live spread and history on the same page.

FAQ

How is this different from a normal FX page?

A normal FX page only shows fiat rates. coinpay combines OTC quotes, spread percentage, fiat benchmarks, and history so OTC arbitrage traders can judge the board faster.

Does a positive OTC spread guarantee arbitrage?

No. A positive spread only means the public quote is above the benchmark. Execution still depends on payment rails, size, region, and trading constraints.

Why does a market sometimes show no public offers?

That usually means the server could not fetch visible public offers from the upstream market at that moment, often because of regional or platform-side restrictions.
