B. Risk of Depegging for stablecoins
- This disclosure outlines the risks associated with the potential de-pegging of stablecoins, including (without limitation) USD Coin (USDC) and Tether (USDT), from their intended 1:1 parity with a commodity or denomination of fiat currency.
- (1) Stablecoins are designed to maintain a stable value relative to the commodity or denomination of fiat currency. For example, USDC and USDT are designed to maintain a stable value relative to the US Dollar (USD). However, market conditions, regulatory changes, or operational failures may cause these stablecoins to deviate from their intended 1:1 parity. Such deviations, commonly referred to as “de-pegging,” could result in significant price fluctuations or loss of value.
- (2) De-pegging events may lead to reduced liquidity for the stablecoin, impacting the ability to execute trades or exit positions at favorable rates.
- (3) Unexpected market movements during de-pegging may lead to substantial price fluctuations, potentially increasing margin requirements or triggering liquidations. Where USD stablecoin is used as collateral, de-pegging could reduce the value of collateral and increase the risk of margin calls or forced liquidations. De-pegging may also result in the stablecoin asset no longer being accepted as eligible collateral.
- (4) The value of stablecoin typically depends on the creditworthiness and operational resilience of its issuer. Any doubts regarding the issuers’ ability to back the stablecoins with sufficient reserves may amplify de-pegging risks.
- (5) As stablecoins are centrally issued, they are subject to counterparty risks, including potential regulatory actions or operational failures by the issuers. Legal or regulatory measures against stablecoin issuers or related parties may impact the stability or usability of their stablecoin. Cyberattacks, technical malfunctions, or other operational issues affecting the issuers could also trigger, or increase the risk of, depegging.
- (6) You are encouraged to monitor market conditions, issuer announcements, and regulatory developments that could affect the stability of any stablecoin you may use.
- (7) A de-pegging event in one particular stablecoin may have a contagion effect, negatively impacting market sentiment towards other issues of stablecoin or the trading venues that have used or otherwise facilitated trading activity involving that stablecoin (particularly where that stablecoin may have been used as collateral or for settlement of transactions).
- (8) You should consider diversifying your collateral and funding sources to mitigate the potential impact of de-pegging risks.
- (9) There is no guarantee that any stablecoin (including, without limitation, USDC or USDT) will maintain its 1:1 parity with the reference asset/currency under all circumstances. Users should conduct independent assessments and understand the risks associated with holding or using these stablecoins.
