OPTIMISM (OP) price, where to buy & arbitrage
OP
22 exchanges
Optimism (OP) trades on 22 exchanges that Finder tracks live, across 19 spot, 21 perpetual markets. Optimism arbitrage means buying OP where it is priced lower and selling where it is higher, capturing the gap before it closes. The deepest liquidity is on Hotcoin ($20,676,532 of $107,555,232 total 24h volume). It can be moved between exchanges over OPTIMISM. With both spot and perpetual OP markets live, the spot-versus-perp gap and the cross-exchange spread are both arbitrage opportunities. Finder compares every OP quote in real time to surface the best cross-exchange arbitrage spread, with live deposit and withdrawal status on each rail. Closed transfer rails are flagged before you act, so a wide spread on a stuck route is never shown as live.
