The stability of a stablecoin's price relies on an effective market mechanism. The PSM (Peg Stability Module) creates an "arbitrage corridor" by allowing users to exchange between USDD and USDC/USDT at a 1:1 ratio — when the price deviates from $1, savvy traders will enter the market to arbitrage, automatically bringing the price back to the peg level.



This design is especially effective within the Ethereum and its DEX ecosystem. Whenever the market price of USDD fluctuates, the arbitrage mechanism operates like an automatic stabilizer, continuously correcting market supply and demand imbalances. In practice, the PSM module has become a solid foundation for maintaining USDD's $1 target price — it is not a passive defense, but a clever design that incentivizes market participants to actively participate in price stabilization through economic incentives. This is precisely the ingenuity of modern stablecoin design.

PSM's logic is actually just using arbitrageurs as pawns, clever.

The concept of arbitrage corridors sounds good, but can it actually be sustained in practice?

How good is this PSM thing when it actually runs? I feel like the arbitrage window gets completely taken by big players as soon as it opens.

The PSM gameplay is indeed excellent—it allows arbitrageurs to stabilize the price themselves without the project team having to put in effort.

Basically, it's about arbitrageurs consciously maintaining the market. This logic is indeed perfect.
