We study, from the perspective of large financial markets, the asymptotic arbitrage (AA) opportunities in a sequence of binary markets approximating the fractional Black-Scholes model. This approximating sequence was introduced by Sottinen and named fractional binary market. The large financial market under consideration does not satisfy the standard assumptions of the theory of AA. For this reason, we follow a constructive approach to show first that a strong AA (SAA) exists in the frictionless case. Indeed, with the help of an appropriate version of the law of large numbers and a stopping time procedure, we construct a sequence of self-financing trading strategies leading to the desired result. Next, we introduce, in each small market, proportional transaction costs, and we show that a slight modification of the previous trading strategies leads to a SAA when the transaction costs converge fast enough to 0.
