How Can a Bridge Be Used to Arbitrage Options Prices across Different Chains?

Arbitrageurs use bridges to exploit price differences for the same tokenized option or underlying asset between two separate blockchain ecosystems. They buy the asset or option cheaply on one chain, quickly bridge it to the other chain, and sell it at a higher price.

The efficiency and cost of the bridge directly impact the profitability and speed of the arbitrage opportunity.
