🔴 sUSD from Synthetix has lost its peg and has fallen to $0.66 — déjà vu with Terra?
sUSD, the stablecoin from Synthetix, is again below $1 — the current price is around $0.66. The reason? The protocol update SIP-420, which unexpectedly changed the financial mechanics of the project.
📉 What happened:
— The collateralization ratio was reduced from 450% to 200%
— Old debts do not have to be repaid for a whole year
— Stakers are no longer incentivized to buy back sUSD
— The price of SNX has dropped → collateral decreased
— Market panic is creating cascading sell-offs
⚠️ Reminds of the collapse of Terra/LUNA — and again the problem lies in the mechanics of collateral and trust.
