# Four Strategies Around the bStock Delta: Arbitrage, Market Making, Signals, Alerts

Tokenized stocks live on two markets at once. Delta arbitrage, market making, signal trading, and alerts-as-a-service — four strategies around the price divergence.

The delta between a tokenized stock and its underlying enables four strategies: delta arbitrage, market making on thin pools, signal trading on weekend news, and alerts-as-a-service — profitable while costs stay below the divergence.

A tokenized stock lives on two markets at once: the token on a crypto exchange, the share on a stock exchange. The gap between them — the delta — supports several working strategies. Here is each one, with its risks.

A decade ago this toolkit belonged to institutions with dedicated market-data feeds and quant desks. Today an AI agent with a wallet can run the same loop — watch, decide, pay for its own data. That is what makes the tokenized-stocks market different from the equity market it mirrors: the tooling is open to anyone with USDC.

*One number, four strategies: arbitrage (buy the cheap token, wait
for convergence), market making (earn the spread on thin books), signal
trading (the delta leads Monday’s gap), and alerts as a service (the
signal finds you).*

## 1. Delta arbitrage

When the token trades below the share by more than your costs (fees +
spread + slippage), buy the token and wait for convergence. Classic
setup: a −2% delta on a closed exchange → buy the token → exit at
parity. The risks: the delta can widen further (cut it with a stop),
convergence can take days, and pool liquidity caps your position size.
Enter only when you understand *why* the gap appeared.

## 2. Market making

bStock pools are thin — wide spreads mean you get paid for providing liquidity. A market maker earns the spread and fees, and the delta hints where quotes should move: token above the share — expect sellers; below — buyers.

## 3. Signal trading

Delta is a leading indicator. The token reprices on weekend news before the equity market opens. A trader watching the delta knows about Monday’s gap on Saturday — and positions accordingly, with the usual risk that the gap never comes.

## 4. Alerts as a service

You do not have to trade the delta yourself — monitoring it is a
product. Our tracker exposes it over MCP and Telegram: subscribe once,
and a message arrives whenever any symbol’s delta crosses the 0.5%
threshold. The machine watches; you trade when it matters. The
subscription settles on **Arc** in USDC — one on-chain
transaction, receipt-verified, 30 days of real-time. The same asset you
trade bStocks with pays for the signal.

## The main rule

Delta is not free money — it is the price of risk: liquidity, issuer counterparty, rebalancing delays. A strategy works while costs stay below the divergence. Count the costs before entry, not after.

*Series finale: the risks of tokenized stocks — what can go
wrong.*
