Cross Exchange STETH Arbitrage Despite Peg Recovery
The
STETHUSD
(Lido Stacked Ether) lost its 1:1 peg with ETH since back in May, but more interesting is the extreme volatile pattern within arbitrages between CEX and DEX's, as well as cross-exchange arbitrages that developed on STETH. Something increasing despite the pegging recovering last 24 hours. Now the STETH arbitrage is almost bigger then the
ETHUSDT
to STETH arbitrage, presenting profitable moment for those in the markets.
Quick background: lost its 1:1 peg with Ether starting around the time of the UST (Terra) depegging, and then this was amplified in recent days on 8th of June due to a multitude of reasons mostly due to fears amongst some of Celsius Network quickly running out of liquid funds to pay back investors (read threads like this for more background: https://twitter.com/smallcapscience/status/1535097594187087872?s=12&t=SRQSS7HIADK4MxPaqf2Dow).
Now the peg is recovering though, but due to lots of market uncertainty and fear still, rare large fluctuating arbitrages (of 1-2%). Which just this moment on the current bar has crossed over the ETH to STETH arbitrage. Opportunistic in the manner that we look for rapid changes between sides of the zero line on the Arbitrage charts so we can buy > sell and sell > buy regularly without needing to perform any cross-exchange transfers (and thus minimise fee's and risks too).
