As an individual trader running an algorithmic arbitrage operation at > 40 exchanges, I have to. You can count me in for USDT 56k. I am small fish.
My algorithms constantly watch USDT/USD price at 3 exchanges which are independent from Tether Inc, and if USDT drops below $0.95 at one of them, they stop issuing orders selling to USDT.
- backprop1993 5y agoAre you saying that the exchanges are forcing a $1 +/- 0.05 price range for Tether instead of letting it float freely? Interesting.
- ceejayoz 5y agoNo, they're saying their personal USDT trading strategy involves a cessation of activity if Tether breaks the $1 peg, as it probably indicates trouble requiring human intervention.
- merely-unlikely 5y agoNot forcing per se - the arbitrage incentivizes market makers to keep the value roughly in the expected range. This happens in any asset class but the mechanic is quite straightforward in this case.
