Ethereum is tied to BTC not to Dollars

in ethereum •  8 years ago 

Today Bitcoin crashed from the 2900 USD range to almost 2600.

The interesting part of the crash is not in the Bitcoin, charts, but in Ethereum/Bitcoin charts:

There is a peak followed by a sudden price rectification. During this time people was doing arbitrage... Suddenly buying and short selling Ethereum.

But for Bitcoin the crash was different:

The explanation for this is simple.

When Bitcoin crashed, Ethereum remained tied to the USD for some time...

Then robots and arbiters took advantage of being able to buy and sell quickly ethereum...

... while and buying and selling quickly BTC/ETH and ETH/USD...

For ten minutes the price of Ethereum was dictated by the Ethereum/USD pair.

But now is tied to Bitcoin again.

When this flash market movements happen is interesting to see how coin pairs move.

I expect someday Ethereum will be tied to fiat currencies like USD or EURO, and not to BTC.

Why?

Because lots of tokens are minted using Ethereum, not Bitcon sidechains.

      The App is Blockfolio. You cannot trade from there, just keep account of your positions.

      I tried kraken and poloniex. But not bittrex.
      I don't do day trading. I tried but it does not work for m. Margin trading either.
