About Qtum

Qtum is a decentralized and open-source smart contracts platform and value transfer protocol. Qtum uses proof-of-stake consensus, meaning node operators are rewarded for validating transactions.

Qtum is built on a bitcoin core fork, but the foundation has created its own hybrid blockchain with the help of several key tools. The coin uses bitcoin’s chain because of its simple and stable nature, allowing the foundation to build upon it more easily.

They also have team members who formerly worked with Tencent, Alibaba, Nasdaq etc.…

About QTUM arbitrage

How do I read the QTUM spread?

The spread is how many percent higher QTUM trades on one exchange than on the other. We measure it at tradeable prices (ask/bid) net of fees; “net” is closer to what you actually keep.

Is this arbitrage worth taking?

Look past the spread: check volume, order-book depth and the deposit/withdrawal status on HTX and Binance. If deposits or withdrawals are shut, or the book is thin, the spread exists on paper but you cannot trade into it.
