The DAI Crash
USD Coin (USDC), the second largest stablecoin by market capitalization, fell below its expected price of $1 after Circle, its issuing company, revealed that it had part of its reserves at failed Silicon Valley Bank. .
USDC issuers said Friday afternoon that they had an unspecified amount of money on deposit with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), a major California-based bank that was shut down earlier in the day by regulators. Circle specified shortly after that the amount of reserves in the bank’s custody was $3.3 billion.
The company said in a tweet on Saturday to early morning (GMT-3) that it had been unable to withdraw its funds from the bank, which represent just over 8% of USDC’s $40 billion in reserves.
The revelation of Circle raised fears among investors, who rushed to change their USDC for other assets. The currency, which is expected to maintain a 1-to-1 price parity with the US dollar, plunged to a record low of $0.87 on Saturday.
A few minutes later, several cryptocurrency exchanges, including Coinbase and Binance, announced the temporary halt of USDC conversions due to market conditions and high activity flows. However, the market is expected to stabilize in the next few hours.
