Price gaps

Which price counts

Each exchange counts once, at its busiest pair for the coin in its latest good read. Pairs that traded less than $100K in the last 24 hours are left out: their last trade can be hours old.

The gap

How much more the dearest exchange's price is than the cheapest's, as a percentage of the cheapest.

The band

One tick per exchange, placed by how far its price sits from the registry price, the bright line in the middle. The scale stretches near the middle so small gaps still show: the faint lines mark 0.1%, 1% and 10% either side.

Stablecoins

A price in Tether, USD Coin or another dollar stablecoin counts as one dollar, as everywhere on this site. They don't trade at exactly a dollar, so mixing quotes can open a gap of a tenth of a percent or more on its own. Pick one quote above to compare like with like.

Left out

Coins whose exchanges disagree by more than 30%. That's usually two different tokens sharing a ticker, not one coin with two prices.

The registry price

The volume-weighted price across every pair we read, the one each coin page shows. The coin page's venue spread counts every pair, so its figures can differ from these.

We read the exchanges every five minutes and rebuild this page every two. Prices are what the exchanges reported, not what you'd pay after fees.
