Stablecoins are supposed to always equal 1.
But they don't.
Right now USDC is $1.0007 on Binance.
And a few mins from now, it can be $0.9994 on Uniswap.
That's a (potential) $13 profit on every $10,000 traded.
Here's how traders turn these tiny gaps into income:
The strategy is (quite) simple:
1) Buy cheap USDC at $0.9994
2) Sell it when/where it costs $1.0007
3) Keep the difference
Risk is low cause both prices should return to $1.
Do this 100 times and those pennies become real profits.
But why do these gaps even exist?
Banks close on weekends.
Different blockchains can't talk instantly.
Gas fees make small trades expensive.
And btw, this happens every single day.
The gaps never fully disappear.
