What's Up With BTC-E BTC/RUB Rates Being So Low All The Time

[Amph]

probably it has to do with the fact that they are planning on accepting bitcoin?

they are removing their previous ban on it, so the price need to be settled again

lol, your arb plan looks interesting and probitable

The rate is still the same when you convert it to USD, if you doubt it do some arbitrage trade using it and tell me the result, you know is not low but lack trading volume.

You won't make much money because the FX rates would eat up any possibility of arbitrage. Historicaly it is so, that there's more people willing to sell RUB for bitcoin than vice-versa. Also it takes some time to deposit the money directly (different payment system employ 72-10 days moneyhold).

It is good to also add here that everything about btc-e is lagging behind even bitcoin to USD could have up to $10 difference with bitstamp and bitfinex.

When it come to trading cryptos btc-e is now the last option on my mind, they suck.
