dc.description.abstractThis study assesses the eventual existence of triangular arbitrages between crypto and fiat currencies and analyzes economic factors which might contribute to the appearance of such opportunities. In particular, the authors look at core alphas of arbitrage based on crypto to fiat exchanges in two different crypto open source exchanges. By examining the existence of any statistically significant alphas, we find that this opportunity exists and might be exploitable for the US based exchange, Coinmarketcap. Similarly, triangular arbitrage exists, but are much smaller in the Coingecko exchange. This finding demonstrates the existence of discrepancies between exchanges. Furthermore, regression analyses indicate that Bitcoin is more sensitive to commodity prices changes as compared to Ethereum. In addition, we find that google searches related to cryptocurrencies are a strong predictor of arbitrage opportunities in triangular sets including Ethereum. In contrast, google trend aggregator data had almost no effect on Bitcoin containing exchange triplets. Additionally, proximity to the market plays a significant role in determining impact of central bank monthly T-bill rate on quotation volatility and subsequent arbitrage opportunities.en_US
