Whale Bets $800K on USDX Depeg Amid Stablecoin Uncertainty
A crypto whale has placed an $800,000 gamble on USDX, a synthetic stablecoin that recently depegged to $0.3887. The investor acquired 933,241 USDX at $0.8572, betting on a potential redemption payout that could yield $135,000 in profit. The outcome remains uncertain as the token struggles to regain its peg, highlighting broader concerns about DeFi stability.
Lookonchain reports the whale previously bought 1.4 million USDX last week. All tokens have been submitted for redemption, but the process remains pending after three hours. This high-stakes MOVE has sparked debate about synthetic stablecoin reliability and risk management in decentralized finance.
