P2P arbitrage

Crypto P2P arbitrage scanning in real time

The scanner compares buy and sell rates on exchange P2P boards with spot prices and lists routes whose estimated result stays positive after fees. The final outcome still depends on execution.

What the P2P module analyzes

MatrixLink reads live P2P offers from major exchanges and compares them with each other and with spot markets. A rate gap becomes a candidate route only after offer limits and terms are checked.

  • buy and sell rates of active makers;
  • P2P-to-spot and cross-exchange P2P routes;
  • filters by payment method and fiat currency;
  • offer limits and counterparty requirements.

How P2P execution differs

A P2P leg settles slower than an order book: the maker must confirm payment, and the offer rate can change before the trade completes. The scanner shows data age and limits, while the entry decision stays with the user.

The feed lists only routes with a positive estimated result after fees; the realized outcome depends on confirmation speed and offer freshness.

Frequently asked questions

Does a P2P route guarantee a profit?

No. The estimate is positive at data time, but the maker can change the rate or limits, and payment confirmation takes time.

How is P2P arbitrage different from cross-exchange trading?

Legs execute through offers with manual payment confirmation rather than an order book, so limits, payment methods, and maker reputation matter.

Can routes be filtered by payment method?

Yes. The scanner reads offer payment methods and surfaces routes that match your available payment options.
