The MSUSD algorithmic stablecoin has decoupled today, crashing down to $0.36, a drop of 64%.
Background: MSUSD is an algorithmic stablecoin issued by Mainstreet, pegged to $1. After the decoupling, the official response was "still fully backed by assets"—sounds familiar, right? UST said the same back in the day.
A few stats: The circulating supply of MSUSD is not publicly disclosed, but after the decoupling, the on-chain trading volume skyrocketed in the last 24 hours, showing clear panic selling. Mainstreet previously claimed to have over-collateralization; now we need to see if the liquidation price of their collateral can cover it. The core issue with algorithmic stablecoins is always the same: the peg relies on confidence, and once that confidence shatters, the algorithm can't hold.
For comparison: After the UST collapse, the algorithmic stablecoin sector nearly wiped out; MSUSD is one of the few that survived. If they mishandle this situation, it could wipe out the entire niche market again. I'm staying away in the short term, waiting for the official audit report to check the collateralization ratio.
PANews just dropped some on-chain data: short holders' funds have shrunk by 56%, and aNUPL has dipped to -0.14. This means that folks who bought BTC in the last three months are overall sitting on losses.
Binance's BTC/USDT 24-hour trading volume has seen a significant uptick today compared to yesterday; at this level, some are cashing out while others are stacking up.
The data tells me one thing: the market isn't in full-blown panic yet, but buying pressure is hesitant. Until a clear direction emerges, both bulls and bears are feeling the squeeze.
STRC has dropped from its issue price to 82, it's unpegged. Just this statement isn't enough—what's crucial comes next.
Strategy is holding 478,000 BTC, with a market cap exceeding a hundred million. STRC essentially adds leverage to the BTC holdings using preferred stocks. The drop in STRC means the market is pricing in one thing: Strategy might be forced to sell coins to pay off debts.
On-chain data: MSTR address has had zero transfers in the last 7 days, but STRD trading volume has skyrocketed by 310%. What's more interesting is that whale addresses have increased their holdings by 12,000 coins in the past 48 hours. Some are panicking, while others are scooping up the dip.
Don’t just look at the price, watch who’s buying and who’s selling. Data doesn’t lie.

#BTC行情 BTC 92000's short position... inexplicably stopped out It ruined my plan~ So I also exited my long position at 65000
663 took a small position~ depending on the situation~ there is still a possibility to go to 63000 near 26868, this is still a point to consider going long Currently holding a short position in gold of 4700~ The original plan was to add to the second position at 4800 but... didn't get to add Considering reducing position at the first support of 4600~ if it goes up, I will short again
