Price gaps
The same coin, priced differently from one exchange to the next. Each line below is one coin priced by at least two of the exchanges we read, ranked by how far apart its prices sit right now.
A price gap is not free money. Trading fees, withdrawal fees and limits, the time a transfer takes, suspended wallets and thin order books all eat into it, and the price can move while your coins are on the way. This page is information, not advice.
- <0.1%: 1 coin
- 0.1–0.3%: 2 coins
- 0.3–1%: 1 coin
- 1–3%: 0 coins
- 3–10%: 0 coins
- 10–30%: 0 coins
Half of the 4 coins compared here sit within 0.21% from the cheapest exchange to the dearest. None is more than 1% apart.

Coinbase has the lowest price most often, for 1 of the 1 coin it prices here. Bitfinex has the highest most often, for 1 of 1. We count Tether as one dollar. It trades at $0.9986 against the dollar right now, so a price in Tether reads about 0.14% higher than the same price in dollars.

How the gaps are measured
- Which price counts
- Each exchange counts once, at its busiest pair for the coin in its latest good read. Pairs that traded less than $1M 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.
