❗Black Swan by stablecoins. Threat or opportunity for traders?Hi friends! If it heppen to one UST is it heppen to another stablecoins? Next trigger for BTC dump can be caused by stablecoins instability. In this idea i`ll show you some facts about it!
🦢Black Swan. The last Black Swan in all financial markets happened in 2020 because of Covid-19. The crypto market fell by 64%. After the bull market, the Fed Reserve started raising the interest rate, BTC fell by 56%.
What if all the stabelcoins are not secured by anything? If previously the fall of cryptocurrencies was caused by global cataclysms, now we can expect the first black swan only for the cryptocurrency market.
With a EXTREME fear in the market and panic sales of retail traders, BTC could fall to $22k or lower.
📊Stablecoins by Market Capitalization:
1. Tether (USDT) - $83B
2. USD Coin (USDC) - $48.5B
3. Binance USD (BUSD) - $17.1B
4. Dai (DAI) - $6.9B
5. TerraUSD (UST) - $6.9B
Total: $169.4B
❗It`s almost 10% of TOTAL Crypto market Capitalization (169.4/1400).
💱We all know what happened to Luna and UST stabelcoin. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen pushes for stablecoin regulation by end of year. Even if the LUNA and UST recover to their previous price, a lot of attention will be focused on other stablecoins as well. On the other hand, this is positive for the crypto market and market players, as crypto security will increase.

Quick glance: In this educational post, we attempt to dig deeper into the world of Stablecoins. We have broken down the post into 3 parts where we discuss:
What are stablecoins and why do they exist?
Difference between USDT, USDC and DAI
Which is the best Stablecoin?
What are Stablecoins and why do they exist?
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that are pegged to the US Dollar. (Pegging refers to fixed or tied). Stablecoins are essentially the backbone of the cryptocurrency trading universe.
In a world of high volatility, the Stablecoins ensure that the value of money doesn’t change drastically. tablecoinsIn this post, we will discuss the 3 different most used Stablecoins:
USDT issued by the company Tether
USDC run jointly by Circle and Coinbase
DAI, fully decentralized
P.S. This is a non-exhaustive list. And more Stablecoins will likely be added over time.
USDT or Tetherus
USDT is one of the most talked about Stablecoins. As of today, it’s market capitalization is third largest among cryptos, after Bitcoin and Ethereum. It speaks about the popularity and the liquidity of USDT. It is widely used as trading pairs such as BTCUSDT, ALGOUSDT, ETHUSDT etc.
FYI, USDT is issued by a company called Tether, based out of Hong Kong. The company claims that the price of USDT will always remain at one US Dollar, as each new coin minted is backed by an equivalent amount of cash or assets being added to the company’s reserves.
USDC or USD Coin
USDC is run by a joint partnership between Circle and Coinbase. One key difference between USDT and USDC is that USDC is based on the Ethereum network. It came into existence to be used for DeFi or Decentralized Finance applications
DAI
DAI is an Ethereum-based stablecoin (stable-price cryptocurrency) whose issuance and development is managed by the Maker Protocol and the MakerDAO decentralized autonomous organization.
The price of DAI is soft-pegged to the U.S. dollar and is collateralized by a mix of other cryptocurrencies that are deposited into smart-contract vaults every time new DAI is minted.
Which is the best Stablecoin
Although, there is no direct answer to this, different aspects can be considered to judge the usability of each coin.
USDC is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, held in reserve bank accounts, and is subject to regular attestations to ensure that it stays this way. This process mitigates the market risk from the currency. On the other hand, despite being hugely popular, the transparency with USDT remains questionable.
To counter the transparency and centralization aspect, the Stablecoin DAI came into existence. To mint DAI, one has to deposit collateral with MakerDAO. Once the collateral has been deposited in Maker, the trader can generate a certain amount of DAI.
Therefore, DAI appears to be the best Stablecoin in terms of decentralization, transparency and averse to market or liquidity risks. However, it will definitely take some time to catch up with the popularity of USDT.
