Why this route matters
Arbitrex watches every market HTX and KuCoin list — not a curated top-100. That is what makes this route worth opening: the widest divergences rarely sit on BTC, they appear on the thinner coin both venues happen to list, where one book reprices minutes after the other.
Arbitrage types between HTX and KuCoin
| Type | How it works |
