A merchant posts prices on both sides of the market and earns the difference. It sounds simple, but it's closer to running a small business than to trading.
What it takes
- Capital on both sides. You need crypto and bank funds ready at the same time.
- Availability. Slow responses hurt your completion rate.
- Good records. Your bank may ask about your transfers, and tax may apply.
The risks
Price moves, frozen bank accounts and reversed payments can wipe out weeks of spread. Check how your country treats this activity, as some require registration or a licence.
