Dataset for Bitcoin arbitrage in different cryptocurrency exchanges

We present a high-frequency dataset of algorithmic trading. Given that, the dataset contains different time intervals depending on the timestamp when an arbitrage opportunity occurred. Our dataset has 9,799,130 tick-level records of the Bitcoin-to-Euro exchange rate starting from 2019-01-01 00:00:31 until 2020-03-30 23:59:48. Data covered information about different cryptocurrency pairs from 18 cryptocurrency exchanges. These pairs contained information about exchanges in which it was possible to buy and sell simultaneously. Each row presented the amount of arbitrage that it was possible to earn if a transaction would have been executed. The dataset contains information about the amount of arbitrage that could be earned after executing a transaction in given cryptocurrency exchanges, the quantity which had to be bought to earn arbitrage, the best sell, and the best buy prices, the balance of fiat currency in “Exchange 1” and the balance of cryptocurrency in “Exchange 2”. If there was enough fiat currency in “Exchange 1” and enough cryptocurrency in “Exchange 2” it means that the transaction was successfully executed and given arbitrage amount was earned. This information could be used by investors to discover potential earning capabilities, and create effective arbitrage trading strategies. Moreover, this dataset could serve academics for deeper analysis of efficiency and liquidity questions as well as it could be used to spot and evaluate risks in the market, identify patterns in the market.
