Price Alignment

Definition

Price alignment refers to the process by which the value of an asset or derivative converges with its underlying reference price across different markets or platforms. This synchronization is often driven by arbitrageurs who exploit discrepancies, buying where an asset is cheap and selling where it is expensive. In stablecoin markets, price alignment ensures the digital asset maintains its peg to the fiat currency it represents. It is crucial for market efficiency and stability.
