Sudden Decline in "USDC" and Credit Issues with Stablecoins
2023-03-20, 06:48
[//]:content-type-MARKDOWN-DONOT-DELETE ![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/image/article/1680250157突然下跌的USDC和穩定幣的信用問題_web_en.jpg) Due to the impact of the bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank, the stablecoin "USDC" pegged with the US dollar fell from $1 to $0.88. Circle, the company that issued "USDC," announced that Silicon Valley Bank had $33 billion in outstanding remittances, which was the starting point of the event. At the same time as the announcement, credit unrest spread and triggered a run on the "USDC," leading to differences with the US dollar. However, after the decline, Circle stated that "all USDCs can be exchanged for dollars at a ratio of 1:1." The USDC returned to $1 after three days of decline. First of all, stablecoins refer to cryptocurrencies that are linked to fiat currencies and have low price fluctuations. They are divided into three types: 1. stablecoins backed by fiat currency 2. stablecoins backed by crypto assets 3. stablecoins that determine the supply based on market demand Among them, the USDC is a stablecoin backed by fiat currency and short-term treasury bonds. And because it can prove reserves, it can achieve recovery. "USDT" and "USDC" are both fiat-backed stablecoins, while the stablecoin "DAI" traded in Japan is crypto-backed stablecoin. The collapse of holding basic fiat currencies and virtual currencies will lead to a loss of confidence in stablecoins and further pose their collapse. <div class="blog-details-info"> <div>Author: **Peperon** <div class="info-tips">\*This article represents only the views of the researcher and does not constitute any investment suggestions. <div>\*Gate.io reserves all rights to this article.
