  1. L-01 Low Spread Reduction Increases Arbitrage Opportunities Warning Acknowledged
    Location
    Global

    Description

    Reducing spreads will offer more attractive prices to traders and increase open interest in the GM markets. However, large spread reductions can create arbitrage opportunities against other exchanges, which may put LP’s at risk as the counterparty of trades, as well as strain the system’s OI limits.

    Recommendation

    Carefully consider this risk when assigning the spread reduction factor.
