I was caught out by buying BTC and SOL before the USDC fall out.

SOL got hit harder than BTC.  BTC is at the same level which illustrates people are pumping their USDC at a loss into BTC as a safe have.  There is no alternative for many.

Stablecoins are extremely risky when they lose their peg.  USDC has stopped redemptions otherwise they would cause their own bank run. But we could see it falling to 86% or more of its value.

HOW GEMINI IS FLEECING CUSTOMERS

Gemini are now charging 1.065 for every USDT in the flight to safety game!!! That is NUTS - Gemini sure are earning on this one. 


Ran put together a spreadsheet that looks something like this which shows the size of the SVB hole and impact of redemptions which could drive price down to zero.

this sounds like BTC is proving its worth to a new cohort of people. i've not until now heard it used as a "safe haven" asset very often. i think this is promising, no?

Any way to get notified when USDC resumes. Got a little hanging out there like to recover it...

Yeah, I saw that spreadsheet on Ran's show this morning. Ppl, including some here, give Ran a hard time and yes he has had issues but as he said he worked to correct them. Lots of people with social media have made errors of that sort but it's the good ones that correct them and go forward to provide their audience with vital information. Props to both James and Ran.

Is USDT safe?

What is meant by “caught out”? Caught off guard?

Are we good in usdt? Or pull off and go to coinbase in usd?

Never a dull day in crypto

To be fair to Gemini (who have terrible rates, but I use for 'safety') - they gave me $1.04 USD for every USDT I sold earlier. A very nice profit and I'm happier to be in USD rather than 'stables' right now. Stay safe all!

I got a notification from my Coinbase app just before all this happened saying that I could win 25k USD for depositing $100 or more into USDC. My first thought when I saw this was that something fishy was up. I guess I can add Coinbase to my long list of things I cannot trust at all.

Bottomline: stable is super-unstable. And crypto is “much” better, crypto is just unstable.

I think Gemini should be a bit more wary of irritating regulators.
