Are you saying that the exchanges are forcing a $1 +/- 0.05 price range for Tether instead of letting it float freely? Interesting.



No, they're saying their personal USDT trading strategy involves a cessation of activity if Tether breaks the $1 peg, as it probably indicates trouble requiring human intervention.


Not forcing per se - the arbitrage incentivizes market makers to keep the value roughly in the expected range. This happens in any asset class but the mechanic is quite straightforward in this case.
