The arbitrage bot is available exclusively to users with a Hero subscription. Please note that this tool is not recommended for inexperienced users due to its complexity.

Cryptohopper’s arbitrage bot identifies price differences for configured coins within a single exchange or across multiple exchanges, enabling users to capitalize on arbitrage opportunities.

This guide covers both the Exchange Arbitrage Bot and the Market Arbitrage Bot. For detailed information on specific settings, please refer to our dedicated guides for the Exchange Arbitrage Bot and Market Arbitrage Bot.

Exchange Arbitrage

This involves taking advantage of price differences for the same coin across two or more exchanges. To use this feature, users must connect their bot to at least two different cryptocurrency exchanges. You'll need to create accounts on all exchanges you wish to include and connect them to Cryptohopper via API to enable seamless automation of your arbitrage strategy.

Market Arbitrage

This strategy capitalizes on price discrepancies for the same coin within a single exchange, across different trading pairs.

  • Not recommended for beginners

  • Always configure all settings before use

  • Save your configuration when complete

  • Users must already own the coins being traded, as the bot does not transfer funds between exchanges

  • Maintain sufficient quote currency (like USDT) balances on all connected exchanges

  • Arbitrage bots are only compatible with specific exchanges listed at Cryptohopper Exchanges

  • The bot does not handle fund transfers between exchanges, so users need to manually ensure sufficient coin balances across connected exchanges
