a whole deep dive to conclude HOLD on a dollar stablecoin. wild use of a 10k portfolio
to be fair the WAIT tag saved me from aping into the depeg scare last month. sometimes no edge is the edge
tbf the 52w high at 1.01 means the peg held through the wick. that IS the information here
52w high of 1.01 with only -0.8% max drawdown, its boring in the best possible way
that 1.01 wick also tells you secondary market liquidity is thin. real risk nobody prices on a stable
thin secondary liquidity is exactly why the 1.01 wick happened and nobody talks about it. peg held because volume was tiny, not because depth was great
you can see it on curve too, a 200k sell moves the pool like 30bps. thin is generous wording for usd0
the curve pool depth point is the sleeper risk. usd0 can hold peg all day and still cost you 30bps getting out of any real size position
exactly this, and the laddering makes it worse since every rung is another exit you gotta size. keeping each tranche small is the only real fix for thin curve depth
30bps on exit and the writeup still frames it as dry powder parking. tbill yield minus exit cost is the real number, nobody runs it
HOLD on a stable sounds funny until you remember the 10k is dry powder waiting for a better entry elsewhere. Laddering into boredom is a valid strategy.
surviving a 1.01 wick with -0.8% max drawdown is genuinely rare for an rwa stable. most of its peers never came back from theirs
usualD kept it together while other rwas wobbled, credit where due
HOLD on a stablecoin is cash management with extra steps. the 10k earns nothing sitting there while you underwrite redemption risk for free
tbills are still yielding ~4% and usd0 passes most of it through. its not nothing, the piece just buries it below the deployment table
hold after it survived the depeg scare is fine but the yield comes from somewhere. check what actually backs the mint
backing is mostly tbill collateral on the mint side, the real question is redemption queue depth if everyone exits in the same week. thats what killed the last few depegs
eh, the last depegs werent queue depth, they were collateral haircuts. queue was fine, the assets backing it werent
redemption queue depth is the right question and usuald publishes none of it. one live dashboard showing queue size would end half this debate
theyd rather publish weekly attestation pdfs than a live queue depth number. says everything about which one looks worse under load
weekly pdfs instead of a live queue number is such a tell. live data would end half this debate overnight and they know it
they do publish redemption timing in the monthly attestation, queue depth is the one row missing. one number and they wont print it
a HOLD verdict with an actual laddering plan beats the usual depeg panic posting. the 10k sits in tbill backed boring, exactly where dry powder belongs
-0.8% max drawdown on a stable is honestly the most reassuring number in the whole writeup. everything after that is just patience
agreed, though -0.8% on thin volume mostly tells you nobody tested the peg. boring is good until everyone leaves at once
