CEX/Exchanges
Upwards CEX Price Divergence
The main pool price follows the exchange price upwards when the $LILY in the main pool is bought at a discount and then be sold on the CEX at a premium by arbitragers.
Order Volume ETH is left in the main pool and taken from the CEX.
Downwards Divergence
Above floor price, the main pool follows the CEX if the relative volume overpowers the arbitragers.
This situation is no different than if someone were to sell that amount at floor and exit like a regular trader. The net ETH goes to the arbitrager and the $LILY is redeemed at floor price. The price going below floor on a CEX/Exchange leads to arbitragers utilizing the main pool to offload discounted CEX tokens
Since we have an impenetrable floor, the exchange's price will quickly be brought back back to floor peg via RFV arbitrage bots.
Exchanges do not provide floor price exit liquidity.
This is similar to how USDT has redemptions through their reserve backing.
