While the market focused on the @StreamDefi scandal and xUSD's breakdown, a much quieter but far more interesting event unfolded in the @megaeth stablecoin ecosystem, specifically with @capmoney_. And it created a window of opportunity for those paying attention on @pendle_fi 👇
Everything unfolded just as @Cbb0fe had warned about Stream's ponzi-like model and the scandal involving several curators using user funds to chase unsustainable yields. As the model collapsed, xUSD suffered a sharp and deep depeg.
Absolute shitshow Shame on @0xlawlol & @solettyy Shame on curators @TelosConsilium @Re7Labs gambling users' funds Shame on KOLs for promoting this unregulated fund with zero proof of reserves Shout-out to @Schlagonia and @chud_eth for common work on this scam
Redemption pressure quickly spread across multiple stablecoin projects, and Cap was no exception. Within just one day, ~$90M of TVL was withdrawn from the platform. But the key detail is: ✅ The process was smooth ✅ No peg instability ✅ No liquidity crunch
Cap promptly addressed concerns over its reserves, confirming that cUSD is fully backed 1:1 by onchain USDC, secured through smart contracts. 💵Most important: redeemable instantly at parity with zero slippage.
In light of recent market volatility, we would like to clarify that Cap continues to function normally. As a reminder: Cap is a 1:1 reserve-backed dollar. Currently, 100% of cUSD is backed by $USDC. All reserves are onchain and controlled by smart contracts. cUSD can be redeemed for USDC at no slippage. Any USDC loans from Cap are overcollateralized by blue chip assets like $ETH and $BTC. This mechanism protects cUSD holders from yield generation risk.
Despite the clarification of the transparency, the wave of panic still drove TVL down sharply. That led to the staking ratio also dropping significantly. Though as staking ratios fell, stcUSD's APY surged to 18%, reflecting the sudden imbalance in supply and yield dynamics.
Right after stcUSD's APY spiked, the Pendle market reacted instantly. Rising Implied APY showed investors rushing to buy discounted YT, aiming to capture the sudden surge in underlying yield, a rare window for those quick to act.
That said, Pendle is for everyone, whether you're a newcomer trying to learn or a pro looking to squeeze alpha from yields like USDe casestudy before. Just use Pendle!
When we talk about speculation in crypto, most people immediately think of price charts - longing BTC, aping into alts, or catching memecoin pumps. But a quiet revolution is unfolding in DeFi. @pendle_fi is redefining what it means to speculate, not on price but on yield. 🧵👇
