Arbitrageurs

Arbitrageurs are traders or investors who take advantage of price differences for the same asset across different markets or exchanges. They buy the asset where it's cheaper and sell it where it's more expensive, making a profit from the price gap. This process helps ensure prices across markets stay aligned. Arbitrageurs play a vital role in maintaining market efficiency by swiftly capitalizing on discrepancies, which usually disappear quickly as other traders respond. They operate in various markets, including stocks, currencies, and cryptocurrencies, contributing to a more balanced and liquid marketplace.
