    Which stablecoins were actually ‘stable’ during this week’s sudden Bitcoin price crash?

    0
    By umer shafi on September 9, 2021 Bitcoin News

    A sharp sell-off across the cryptocurrency market on Tuesday — that saw top tokens Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Cardano (ADA) and Solana (SOL) fall by double-digital percentages — created a venue for stablecoins to prove their worth.

    The fixed-price cryptocurrencies offered interim protection to traders from the notorious crypto price volatility. They did so by almost maintaining their one dollar-peg and offering sufficient liquidity to traders who looked for a safety net during the market decline.

    Blockchain analytics service CryptoQuant reported dramatic spikes in stablecoin transfers as the cryptocurrency market capitalizati fell from $2.38 trillion to $2.103 trillion on Tuesday.

    For instance, Tether (USDT), the leading stablecoin by volume, processed $10.51 billion worth of transactions on Tuesday compared to $4.02 billion on Monday.

    Similarly, the second-largest stablecoin USD Coin (USDC), backed by Circle, reported $5.728 billion worth of transfers on Tuesday versus $3.27 billion in the previous session, logging a 74% spike.

    At the same time, the net stablecoin supply in circulation remained relatively idle, around $67 billion, showcasing adequate liquidity against demand even in the face of a brutal crypto market decline. As a result, many top stablecoins maintained their one-to-on dollar peg despite logging minor price drifts.

    Centralized stablecoin more dependable

    Among the top 10 stablecoins that showed minimal average deviation from their one dollar peg included six centralized, two mixed and two algorithmic projects.

    USDC demand pushed its average valuation by about $0.00196 above a dollar, closely followed by Paxos (PAX), which traded $0.00203 above the same peg.

    Similarly, Binance exchange’s native stablecoin, Binance USD (BUSD), and MakerDAO’s Dai maintained their stability via a dynamic system of collateralized debt positions, autonomous feedback mechanisms, and a variety of user incentive structures. 

    Tether’s wider demand across the cryptocurrency spectrum also pushed its average deviation up by $0.00244.

    Meanwhile, TrustToken’s TUSD, Stable Universal’s HUSD and Terra’s UST drifted $0.00249–0.00385 from their dollar valuation. FRAX and FEI posted a decoupling from their dollar peg by jumping $0.00404 and $0.00474 above it, respectively.

    The data snapshot was taken 24 hours after Tuesday’s crypto market crash.

    Is a stablecoin collapse good for Bitcoin? 

    But potential stablecoin risks have also attracted the attention of top United States officials, including Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Federal Reserve Bank of Boston President Eric Rosengren.

    In July, Yellen “underscored the need to act quickly to ensure there is an appropriate U.S. regulatory framework in place” in a meeting with the heads of the Federal Reserve, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

    Meanwhile, Rosengren called Tether a potential challenge to financial stability.

    In July, a paper released by Fitch Ratings also noted that collateralized stablecoins could trigger short-term credit market contagion:

    “A sudden mass redemption of [tether] could affect the stability of short-term credit markets […] particularly if associated with wider redemptions of other stablecoins that hold reserves in similar assets.”

    But what could a stablecoin market collapse mean for Bitcoin and similar digital assets? Mike McGlone, the senior commodity strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, said it would benefit Bitcoin, in particular.

    “If the whole market collapse, there is only one safe store of value left: Bitcoin.”
