Keep in mind that the relationship here is non-linear. A small de-peg signals a large imbalance of funds.

This non-linear relationship is literally programmatically hard coded in the case of money markets such as curve.fi

Currently the largest money market pool (https://curve.fi/3pool) it has a 5:1 USDT:USDC imbalance. In dollar amounts, the pool contains $1b USDT and $0.2b USDC.

This 5:1 imbalance only gives way to a 0.1% de-pegg.

In the past the balance used to be perfectly 1:1 USDT:USDC. The fact that a multi-million dollar arbitrage opportunity still exist is worrisome.
