Title: bitstamp mtgox spread plummets. Post by: Abdussamad on August 21, 2013, 07:28:32 PM So the spread between gox and bitstamp has plummeted. It was 20% at one point and now is ~10%
Bitstamp: 112.02 Gox: 123.64 So anyone know what is the reason behind this sudden change? Has there been some news? Title: Re: bitstamp mtgox spread plummets. Post by: forevernoob on August 21, 2013, 07:56:33 PM People are reporting that SEPA transfers are coming through now.
Can't comment on whether or not this is true or not. Title: Re: bitstamp mtgox spread plummets.

Post by: AKCoins on August 21, 2013, 10:36:46 PM Higher volumes, better information, and more liquidity leads to smaller spreads between exchanges.
Another factor could be all the people trying to arbitrage the multiple exchanges. All of this leads to tighter spreads. This is generally true for most currencies and securities. I still think the spreads are still too wide. Maybe better than before, but still huge. Title: Re: bitstamp mtgox spread plummets.
