Arbitrage traders make 10x returns on new DeFi platform for wrapped assets

A recently launched decentralized finance platform, Saddle Finance, has netted one particular trader a more than 10x return on an arbitrage trade between different permutations of synthetic (BTC).

According to transaction data from Etherscan, a user swapped 0.34 sBTC, Synthetix’s Bitcoin-based token, in exchange for 4.36 Wrapped Bitcoin, a custodial wrapper offered by BitGo. The trade offered an almost 13x return on investment, netting $150,000 to the trader.
