🔍 sUSD, issued by Synthetix, has fallen below its $1.00 value, dropping to a level of $0.83. This marks the second depeg event in the past year and raises concerns about the issuer's stability mechanisms.
📉 Excess Supply Triggers Peg Instability: The recent decline of sUSD is associated with an influx of excess supply into the market. In Curve, sUSD constitutes 75% of the DAI-USDC-USDT-sUSD pool, indicating that traders are actively offloading the asset.
The Synthetix team is attempting to stabilize the peg with new mechanisms. Founder Kain Warwick noted that volatility should be expected during the transition process.
The current price of sUSD is $0.8593, and it has also seen declines against Ethereum and Bitcoin. However, Warwick emphasizes that the peg has not entered a death spiral.
