In this blog we explain How does this strategy work, how to apply it across platforms, and what you need to get started.

How does this strategy work?

In a nutshell, it consists of Take advantage of a price difference to make a profit.

Simple example:

• You sell 100 USDT to $1.00 per Zinli on Binance.
• Then you buy that same 100 USD at $0.982 USDT x every dollar using Zinli in El Dorado.
• Total profit: $1,80, or $0.018 per USDT.

This margin exists because:

• Some payment methods are valued more than others.
• Prices don't always update at the same rate.
• Platforms behave differently depending on country and time.

Ways to take advantage of price differences

1. Between payment methods

Each method has a different value depending on its speed, availability, or ease of use.

Example: you buy with a bank transfer (most common) and you sell with PayPal or Payoneer (most sought after). The margin can range from 2% to 7%.

2. Between coins

You can buy in one local currency (such as COP or BRL) and sell in another (BOB, ARS), taking advantage of differences between exchange rates in real time.

This approach is useful if you operate in countries with volatile currencies or have access to multi-currency accounts in your name.

3. Between P2P platforms

Platforms like El Dorado, Binance P2P, Paxful, and others don't always have the same prices.

Comparing prices between them allows you to buy cheaper in one and sell more expensive in another.

Example: You buy USDT on Binance P2P via transfer in Colombian pesos for $4,000 and sell it on El Dorado P2P with Nequi for $4,100. Margin of $100 COP per USDT.
