Digital Asset Arbitrage
Digital asset arbitrage refers to the practice of purchasing digital assets (such as USDT/USDC know as dollar stable coin) overseas and immediately selling them in South Africa for a profit. This is possible due to the fact that these assets can trade at a premium of 1 – 3% in South Africa compared to overseas.
