In a recent post, Ripple CTO, David Schwartz, explained<\/a> Automated Market Makers (AMMs) \u2013 a vital component in the decentralized finance (DeFi) framework, and their trading strategies for profit.<\/p>\n

Schwartz states that AMMs thrive when an asset is volatile but does not change its price direction much. Schwartz explained further that an asset whose volatility exceeds its long-term trend would have a positive average percentage movement. However, if the long-term trend is negative, it will reduce the average slightly and vice-versa.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Not Difficult to Create A Trading Strategy, Ripple CTO<\/h2>\n

According to the Ripple CTO, it is not difficult to create a trading strategy to track the average percentage movement of an asset.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He further explained that the trading strategy of an AMM is advanced compared to a simple trading strategy and focuses on price volatility.<\/p>\n

Schwartz, however, added a disclaimer<\/a> at the end of his analysis. He stated that the AMM trading strategy only works for an AMM between an asset with a fixed price and one whose price is volatile enough to overcome its long-term trend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also, he believes that although AMM works even when the assets don\u2019t meet the stated conditions, their behavior is different. From his analysis, a notable deviation will only occur with a long-term negative price movement that exceeds the volatility.<\/p>\n

Crypto Enthusiast Reacts To Analysis<\/h2>\n

Reacting to Schwartz\u2019s<\/a> AMM analysis, Molly Elmore<\/a> asked if XRP would be the asset with a fixed price paired with every other asset on the XRP ledger (XRPL).<\/p>\n

In response, Schwartz stated<\/a> that the AMM is not exclusive to XRP and can function between any asset pair. However, the trading strategies will differ mathematically if both assets are volatile.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Citing the BTC\/XRP pair as a reference, Schwartz stated that although both assets are volatile, the pairing is still great.<\/p>\n

Additionally, he stated that if you are bullish on XRP and BTC<\/a>, investing in an XRP\/USD AMM implies holding much USD that can go up.<\/p>\n

Notably, holding shares of an XRP\/BTC AMM captures more of the upward price movement of XRP and BTC if the bullish sentiment is correct.<\/p>\n

Schwartz continued his analysis, stating that if XRP and BTC\u2019s price doubles, an XRP\/USD AMM has a worst-case (no volatility and no market making) yield of around 40%.<\/a><\/p>\n

In comparison, an XRP\/BTC AMM has a worst-case yield of 100%<\/a>. On the flip side, Schwartz noted that the outcome is worse if your bullish sentiment<\/a> is wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If both XRP and BTC reduce by 50%, the worst case loss is 50%, while for an XRP\/USD AMM, the worst case loss is about 30%. So he believes XRP USD is safer while XRP\/BTC is volatile. Schwartz noted that his analysis seemed complex and explained further<\/a> in a tweet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He stated that AMMs charges trading fees, and volatility causes people to trade with AMMs. Therefore, AMMs turn volatility into fees.<\/p>\n
