Synthetix’s sUSD stablecoin continues depeg to below $0.8

The Synthetix Susd algorithmic stable, continued its one month’s Depeg, now negotiating almost 21% below its ankle at $ 1.

According to the Coingecko price dataSUSD fell to $ 0.7924 in April 17, down more than 8% in the last 24 hours. Its market capitalization increased from $ 30 million in early April to 25 million dollars from press time. Due to the DepgegMarket activity has increased, as shown in the increase of 320% of the negotiation volume 24 hours a day to $ 794,081.

SUSD is a synthetic asset issued on the synthetix (SNX) Protocol, supported by its native token SNX and designed to follow the price of the US dollar using ChainLink (LINK) oracles. However, recent protocol changes have disrupted this stability.

The current Depreg began in March and deepened following the implementation of the proposal to improve Synthetix 420, which aims to increase the efficiency of capital. The SIP-420 introduced an ignition pool belonging to a protocol, also known as “Pool 420”. This new structure allows SNX holders to delegate their participation in a shared pool rather than managing their own debt positions.

SIP-420 has also reduced the rate of warranty required by 500% to 200%, which facilitates the Susted strike. This change has led to a sharp increase in the SUSD supply without a corresponding increase in demand. Now, with a curve (CRV) Pools showing more than 90% SUSD, the excess offer has dropped the price.

The Synthetix team has recognized the problem, calling it a “transition period”. In a discord press release, the team said it planned to improve curve pool incentives, extend the infinex deposit campaign and introduce new use cases such as Snaxchain to absorb excess SUDD.

However, analysts DEFI remain skeptical. “I do not see who would like to take out the risk of holding $ above,” said an analyst in a job On X, emphasizing the absence of a clear REPG strategy supported by the Capital Treasury.
