You missed my point here. The market price and median price can be very different. If the median price after 3.5 days is $0.5 and the market price of hive is $0.6. It would have been better to just hodl hive instead.

This means that the arbitrage is worth taking using stablecoins, by buying hive then initiating the trade.

But if you hold hive and wanted to use that hive for the arbitrage, you would have been better off just hodling.
