Crypto is volatile
Crypto asset prices can move sharply in minutes, and you can lose some or all of the money you put in. Only use funds you can afford to lose.
Arbitrage and spreads
A price difference between two venues is not a guaranteed profit. Trading fees, withdrawal and network fees, slippage, order-book depth, transfer time, deposit or withdrawal suspensions and price moves during execution can turn an apparent spread into a loss. Spreads shown on ArbiLayer are indicative snapshots and may already be gone.
Derivatives, leverage and funding
Perpetual futures and other leveraged products can lose more than the margin you post and can be liquidated quickly. Funding rates change every settlement period and differ between venues; past funding does not predict future funding.
Same ticker, different token
Different assets can share a ticker, and one asset can exist on several networks with different contract addresses. Always verify the exact contract and network before you deposit or trade. Sending tokens on the wrong network can lead to permanent loss.
Exchanges, wallets and counterparties
Exchanges can be hacked, become insolvent, freeze withdrawals or stop serving your country. Wallets and smart contracts can have bugs. Reviews, fee tables, proof-of-reserves figures and bonuses on ArbiLayer are summaries of public information at the time of checking and may be out of date.
Data limitations
Prices, volumes, market caps and other figures come from third parties and may be delayed or inaccurate. Historical charts may combine several sources.
Affiliate disclosure
Some links to exchanges and wallets are referral links. ArbiLayer may earn a commission if you sign up through them. This does not affect the data, rankings or reviews we publish.
