Abstract:

We derive the optimal long-term growth rate for an agent investing in a market composed of a numéraire asset, a risky asset subject to transaction costs, and a liquidity pool within an Automated Market Maker (AMM). We first establish the necessary conditions to ensure a no-arbitrage environment within this market structure. Under these conditions, we determine the asymptotically optimal trading strategy for liquidity providers. Finally, we provide economic intuition for the strategy’s sensitivity to various market parameters, supported by numerical illustrations of our theoretical results.
