Core finding: USDC prices are often lower than USDT!
But don't rush to be envious—price differences are the trap itself.
I practically tested it: a price difference of >0.1% is needed to possibly be beneficial, but there's a 90% chance of getting cut!
Blood and tears practical test: A price difference of 0.04% instead results in a loss of 0.02%!
Buy USDC price: 0.12542
Sell and exchange for USDT price: 0.125493
Surface profit: 0.00457 (0.04%)
But! Transaction fees + slippage directly eat up 0.07%, practically a loss!
Three major pitfalls, a warning manual:
1️⃣ Fake price difference trap
The tokens with large price differences have no trading volume at all; you won't be able to buy them even if you want to!
2️⃣ Cost slaughter knife
