About Arb Letter
Hey all, Arbitrage Andy here.
My journey has been an interesting one. I started as a 22 year old in Manhattan New York with $5,000 to my name and now I run a global media brand when I’m not spending time with my wife and two sons.
I’m a former Division 1 college athlete who attended university in the US.
After earning degrees in history and political science, I spent a decade in corporate sales roles across commodities, data, macro research, and global risk, getting a front-row seat to the corporate machine that moves markets and shapes the world.
In my off-time I am an avid fisherman, outdoorsman, athlete, and creator. I place a high degree of value on sovereignty, freedom, and thinking for yourself. Needless to say over the last 5 years my view of the world has changed quite a bit and I lacked fulfillment in my corporate endeavors, disappointed by internal politics, bureaucracy, and the woke-ification of society.
In 2017, I launched the Instagram page Arbitrage Andy—an irreverent, fast-growing satire account skewering office culture, finance, and geopolitics.
The brand has been featured in Business Insider, Financial Times, Dealbreaker, NY Post, and HBO’s Industry. Over the years I have worked with numerous financial technology and cultural partners including Gemini, IEX, Round Investments, Odyssey, Trezor, ALP Pouches, and many more.
The memes took off, but over time, it became clear there was an even bigger gap to fill and one I was interested in pursuing professionally: straightforward, unvarnished commentary on markets, crypto, and the forces shaping our lives.
Arb Letter was born out of that need in 2021.
Since then, it’s been a no-BS guide through some of the most volatile and unsettling chapters of modern history—from the COVID pandemic to political unrest, the dawn of the crypto era, the war in Ukraine, domestic unrest in the US, up only equity markets, and the rapid-fire evolution of tech and AI. Over the years the powers that be have tried their best to suppress many of the concepts, ideas, and truths that we discuss here — making it doubly important to find a place to explore them.
I’ve helped provide countless accurate calls in financial markets on everything from Bitcoin to Ethereum, Nvidia NVDA 0.00%↑ and Palantir PLTR 0.00%↑ to the local bottom of the 2025 stock market. I’m far from an expert, but have found that simply questioning the status quo and going against the grain frequently leads you to the truth. There is denying the direction the world is headed if you’re simply willing to acknowledge what’s playing out right in front of us each week.
