TUTORIAL: how to trade - crypto trading with Solana! How to invest in crypto arbitrage

[00:00:00]Hey everyone, my name's [music] Tom.

[00:00:02]Over the past month, my team and I have been testing different setups to find something that could hold up in real market conditions. After trying different ideas, we found one approach that gave us some really interesting results. In this video, I'll break down the exact method we tried out from start to finish. No skipped steps, no complicated theory, just the full process so you can understand what's happening behind the scenes. We'll be looking at Solana and a smaller, less well-known exchange where this approach seemed to work surprisingly well for us.

[00:00:31]During some cycles, we spotted price differences reaching [music] around 10%, which is exactly the kind of gap that caught our attention. I'll show you the full process step-by-step.

[00:00:41]All right, [music] first things first.

[00:00:42]Before we jump into the actual process, you'll need some crypto in your wallet.

[00:00:46]The easiest option is to buy USDT [music] through P2P on a major exchange you already use and swap it into Solana, which is the coin I'll be working with in this video. You can also use services like MoonPay, Simplex, or the partner exchange options available directly in the buy [music] crypto section on Map Swap. Choose whichever method works best for you.

[00:01:06]Once you've got your Solana in your wallet, head over to Map Swap and create a new account.

[00:01:11]>> [music] >> I'll be doing this from a completely fresh account and showing every step along the way so you can see exactly what the experience looks like for a new user.

[00:01:19]After logging in, you'll land on the main dashboard. [music] To check whether this arbitrage opportunity is still available, we go to the exchange tab. After the page loads, we look for Solana [music] in the top search field. It's almost at the very bottom of the list. We compare the price, I do this using TradingView, and we can see that the difference is around $7 per coin. [music] At this point, the gap looks interesting enough, so let's continue and see how the full cycle plays out.

[00:01:45]Now, it's time to make a deposit. You can do this either from the wallet page itself or, like I do here, by clicking the deposit [music] button in the top right corner.

[00:01:54]On this page, select Solana from the list, leave the default [music] network as it is, then click generate address.

[00:02:00]Once the address is generated, copy it.

[00:02:03]This is the address we'll use for the transfer.

[00:02:05]Next, switch back to the wallet where my crypto is currently stored and click [music] withdraw. Select Solana, then paste the address, select the same network, and enter the amount you want to use for the transaction. For this example, I prepared 52 SOL, and that's the amount I'll be using for this run.

[00:02:22]Make sure the address and network match, then confirm the transaction, complete 2FA, and wait for the coins to arrive.

[00:02:30]Once the Solana shows up on the balance, we're ready for the main part, the swap itself. I hover over the exchange tab, wait for the page to load, and select Solana from the list. After that, select the full available amount and hit swap.

[00:02:44]You can see the order goes through, >> [music] >> and after completing the loop, my balance increases by roughly 395 USDT in this example. It's not some crazy overnight result, but for a single cycle, it's a pretty solid outcome. Of course, the exact [music] numbers will always depend on the market conditions at the moment you're watching this.

[00:03:02]The last step in this cycle for us is to withdraw the USDT back to the main wallet. So, now that the swap is complete, let's move the funds back where they started. Here in my profile, I click withdraw, choose USDT, and since I'm using Solana here, I stick with the SOL network. It's fast and usually super cheap on fees.

[00:03:21]Now, I head over to my Bybit wallet. I simply click deposit next to USDT, [music] select the Solana network, and copy the deposit address. Before moving on, always double-check that you've selected the correct network. Sending funds through the wrong network can result in losing your coins permanently.

[00:03:38]After that, I head back to MapSwaps, [music] paste that address in, select all available coins, and confirm the withdrawal. And [music] that completes the cycle.

[00:03:47]To make sure everything went through, I opened the withdrawal history.

[00:03:53]At first, the transaction shows as processing. [music] I refresh the page a few moments later, and now you can see the check mark. The exchange has already sent the funds, and now it's just waiting for the required network confirmations. In my experience, this usually takes around 5 to 10 minutes. The coins land on my balance, so let's take a look at how this particular run turned out. In this example, I deposited 4,018 USDT and successfully [music] withdrew 4,405 USDT. After all fees, this round resulted in roughly 387 USDT in profit.

[00:04:27]Again, market conditions change, so every run will naturally be different.

[00:04:31]If you made it this far, you already understand how the process works. Thanks for watching, and let me know in the comments what you think about this setup and whether you've seen similar gaps yourself. Don't forget to subscribe, and I'll see you in the next one.
