While most people in the market are still watching the crazy fluctuations of the coin price, I am doing something that looks incredibly boring—repeatedly placing orders within tiny spreads of stablecoins.



Just now, USDT experienced another subtle fluctuation. I didn't get excited; instead, I smiled. These ups and downs are just a cash machine for me. When the price hits 1.002, I sell some; when it drops to 1.001, I buy in batches. This logic has been tested countless times, and each time I can steadily extract profit from it.

You might think making money this way is too boring. But I want to tell you, a 0.003 spread may seem insignificant, but it actually hides a deadly profitable secret.

**Mathematically Breaking Down This Strategy**

My cost control approach is crude but effective. By building a position at an average price of 1.0015, even if USDT crashes to an extreme like 0.998, I can still survive. The key? Batching. First buy half at 1.002, then buy the other half at 1.001, naturally lowering the average cost.

Now, suppose I can buy at an average price of 1.0015 and then redeem or use at 1.0. That 0.0015 difference directly becomes money in my pocket. Multiplying by the turnover rate of funds, the annualized return can easily exceed 20%. This isn't gambling; it's about executing precise trades at the moment when market short-term pricing fails.

**Why Do Stablecoins Fail?**

Ultimately, it all comes down to supply and demand. Any de-pegging of stablecoins often erupts at specific moments—market liquidity shortages, large redemption waves, or issues with major platforms. These moments are rare, but each one is my hunting opportunity.

In this highly volatile market, the most "boring" stablecoin spreads are often the most certain way to make money.

Sounds like you're saying you're a cash machine, but in reality? The fees eat up half the profit.

Wow, this is the legendary "boredom equals huge profits," huh? A 20% annualized rate sounds outrageous but hard to argue with...

Well... basically, it's making money by eating dust. Sounds stable, but can you really stick with it? --- An annualized 20% sounds great, but most people probably can't endure that boredom haha. --- Is a 0.0015 spread really worth all this effort? It might be more exciting to just go for a hundredfold increase. --- I've also tried the batch cost averaging method, but the problem is that when you actually need to de-anchor, you just can't buy... --- Stablecoin arbitrage is really a test of patience. Big swings, we're all noobs. --- Looks simple, but the psychological pressure during actual execution is hell.

Wait, 20% annualized? How is this number calculated? I feel like it might be a bit suspicious.
