It isnāt the core business, but as long as there are no orders from anybody at an extended spread, Nu needs to put them there.
And if there might in the future be orders on the books, Nu should rather increase the spread to make more room for others instead of withdrawing all funds from the exchange.
The Nu funds are the only reliable support for the peg when high volumes get traded in a short time!
Even an improved ALPv2 canāt handle that unless you use insanely high targets, which make the ALP operation costly.
Thatās why we ended at ALP(v2) with small targets and a small spread PLUS Nu funded bot operations at a high spread, right?
Itās combining the best of both worlds in terms if efforts for Nu, reliability and costs.
You can translate the efforts into costs as well.
Then itās no more and no less the attempt to get the best service for the money.
