Saw something pretty crazy: after verifying with a US identity, buying USDT is $0.999, but selling it can go up to $1.1? That's a direct 10% price difference.
Does this mean there's gray money in USD that needs to go through OTC channels? Or is it purely because certain regions have such strict fiat on/off ramp restrictions that the premium is this huge?

This arbitrage opportunity is insane, directly buying the dip at 10 points... I need to go try it quickly.

A 10-point spread? This buy and sell is basically a printing press; who is acting as the market maker must be making a killing.

This is crazy. Stablecoins can be arbitraged. Some regions are really stuck badly.

Damn, this arbitrage opportunity is insane. I'd be letting myself down if I didn't take action.

This arbitrage opportunity is about to take off; I'm tempted to buy the dip myself.

Damn, isn't this basically an arbitrage machine? Anyone would go crazy trading with this.
