Hi everyone,

 Why is the price of BTC on poloniex around $12 but on other exchanges it is $0.89?

Thanks

"BTCST has undergone a 1:10 token redenomination on March 15th 2021 following the STP-4 Proposal. For more information: please refer to https://btcst.medium.com/btcst-to-implement-results-of-stp-4-1-10-redenomination-the-week-of-march-15-872c9ea3d5b7"

So its possible that one exchange already switched to new tokens at a rate 1:10. So the spread is 8.9$ to 12$ not 89 cents to 12$. So much lower but still a lot which can be caused by locked withdrawals on one of exchanges.

Could be it, but it could likely to a result of an extremely low volume. According to CMC, the daily volume on Poloniex is a whopping $20.63, meaning anyone can manipulate the price anywhere they want at almost no cost at all.

Anyhow, this belongs to Altcoin discussion.
