0.05% and 0.065% is higher than we were at some point. A few months ago a 3m FRR wall was sitting tightly above 0.04% iirc.


I remember all too well those days.  In fact it's the reason I don't have good data back more than a few months, I took most of my money out of margin lending and put it towards better investments. (I also remember the glorious days back in January '14 , before the FRR wall got out of control and .8 - .9% daily returns were common....  man those were the days)  The reason for a .065% minimum default would be to encourge people to consider their options if it got that low.  I think however anyone with the knowledge and willingness to set up my bot also has the intelligence to set a minimum rate that works for them.

Sorry to burst your bubble preemptively but if enough lenders use it the bot will definitely create additional downward pressure in combination with the FRR simply by increasing the supply through ensuring more money is on the book. Without the FRR, well...that might be completely different.

I think this may actually be a bit more complicated than that.  If lots of people start using the bot,  they may well be the ones currently using FRR auto.  Moving their cash to bot managed will also reduce the size of the single point wall, and maybe make market movements a bit more natural...  then again, it may just crash the rate completely.  Could go either way, but if other world markets are any indication, natural competition markets tend to work quite well...

Also, funny how mjr tries to use this recent bot release as a defense for the FRR and then the bot creater himself comes here and scolds mjr for the FRR. Grin
