What you see below is not a random memecoin chart.
We are no strangers to stablecoin collapses.
In 2022, Luna USDT depegged, and the whole crypto market bled for months!
Three days ago, on 4th November, Stream Finance tweeted that an external fund manager overseeing Stream funds disclosed the loss of approximately $93 million in Stream fund assets.
A few days before, on 30th October, Stream had announced a massive $400 million proof of assets. Interestingly, the $93 million loss could not be offset by the $400 million reserves.
We did cover the Balancer Exploit on 3rd November.
So, the Stream staked stablecoin (XUSD) started collapsing. It sits at $0.11 now, down 90% from $1.
But how can Stream XUSD’s collapse affect deUSD?
Stream Finance is holding 90% deUSD, and Elixir is holding 90% XUSD.
Stream declared that it suffered $93 million in losses. At the same time, Steam paused XUSD withdrawals.
Eventually, XUSD started collapsing.
Elixir knew that deUSD is underwater, since the XUSD it held had lost 90% of its value. So, Elixir opened a claim portal.
Elixir allowed 80% of the users to deposit deUSD and withdraw USDC.
It was possible by a combined effort of Euler, Morpho, and Compound.
How Elixir is planning to repay Euler, Morpho, and Compound is unknown.
Nevertheless, Elixir announced abandoning deUSD soon after.
The claims are still live. So, if you are affected, don’t waste time and claim USDC right away. Here is the claim portal.
