Some interesting data showing how
$USG’s peg defense behaves 👇
Yesterday, following a large withdrawal from a pool,
$USG dropped to 0.9911. Immediately after, rates climbed to unsustainable levels for borrowers in both the LEC and HEC markets.
Net leveraged yield turned heavily negative, and borrowers started repaying and/or self-liquidating, pushing
$USG back into safe territory. Meanwhile, the protocol made significant fees.
Does it suck for borrowers who didn’t repay? Not really, as they paid high interest for less than 2 hours. On the other hand, those who liquidated cashed in an extra profit by buying
$USG low!
