Recently, Bitcoin has been on a good rise, but USDT against the RMB still remains at a negative premium. Interestingly, I noticed the buy and sell prices of U on OTC platforms—buy at 6.83, sell at 6.86, and there is indeed a spread.

This kind of situation has happened before. If you talk about making money through arbitrage, theoretically, the price difference is there, but how about actual operation? The most realistic concern is risk control. Large and frequent fiat currency inflows and outflows can easily attract attention.

I want to hear from friends who do OTC trading—do you think this exchange rate arbitrage space is still worth trying?

A 0.43% spread looks good, but the actual cost of arbitrage trading has long been eaten up; risk control is the real killer.

Risk control is indeed a difficult hurdle to overcome. It seems like there is quite some room, but actually it's just so-so.

One-size-fits-all risk control, making profit from the spread is also wasted

nah, that 0.3% spread is basically peanuts once you factor in compliance radar. seen this pattern before—looks juicy on paper, absolute honeypot in reality. DYOR but seriously, large recurring fiat flows = instant red flag for every exchange's aml system. not worth the audit headache imo.
