Stablecoin Risks: Real Depegs, and How High-Yield Scams Read
Everything in this section already happened. We don't predict the next one. The point isn't to scare you — it's so you know what the worst case looks like.
- What has actually happened when stablecoins depegged, UST going to zero, USDC falling to 0.87 on a banking event, BUSD ordered to stop minting: three events, three completely different failure modes.
- Three things every high-yield scam has in common, can't explain where the yield comes from, friction on the way out, growth from recruiting rather than from the product. With a filter you can run yourself.
One thing to say up front
Crypto asset prices are highly volatile and Earn products are not principal-protected. The platform's own solvency, security incidents, and the stablecoin itself can each cause losses; in extreme cases you can lose your entire principal. Everything on this site is information, not investment advice; the full statement is in the risk disclaimer.
