Stablecoin Depeg Monitor

How far each major dollar stablecoin is trading from $1 right now, how its supply has moved, and the worst it has ever done. Deviation is shown in basis points (1 bp = 0.01%) because the interesting range is far too small to read as a percentage: a four-cent break is 400 bp and one of the worst on record.

Looking for past events rather than today's reading? The stablecoin depeg history lists every episode over 50 bp for all eight coins, with the peak, the worst day and how long each one lasted.

How to read a deviation

under 10 bpOrdinary. Every stablecoin sits a few bp off $1 nearly all the time; secondary markets are not redemption windows.
10 to 50 bpWorth a glance. Usually thin liquidity on one venue or a large redemption queue, not a solvency signal.
50 to 200 bpA real dislocation. This is where the history page draws the line for calling something a depeg.
over 200 bpRare. Historically tied to a named event: a bank failure, a reserve disclosure, or a collateral chain breaking.

Direction matters as much as size. Trading below $1 means holders are selling at a discount to get out. Trading above $1 means people are paying a premium to get in, which usually happens when a different stablecoin is the one in trouble. The status column uses the same four bands as this table, so "worth a glance" on the table and "worth a glance" in the text mean the same range.

What the other columns add

Backing is the shorthand for how the coin is supposed to hold $1. A fiat-backed coin holds cash and short-term government paper at banks and custodians, so its risk is a reserve question: is the money there, and can the issuer reach it today. A crypto-backed coin holds other tokens as collateral, so its risk is a collateral question: what those tokens are worth, and whether any of them is itself a stablecoin under stress. The designs are compared in Stablecoins 101.

Supply and 7-day supply show how many coins exist and how that changed over the week. Supply shrinks when holders redeem with the issuer and the coins are destroyed. Read next to the deviation, a shrinking supply during a discount says redemptions are working, which is the mechanism that normally pulls the price back. A shrinking supply with the price at $1 is usually just a large holder rotating out, and means little.

Worst ever is the single deepest daily reading in the coin's history in this dataset, so today's number has a scale to sit against. A 30 bp reading on a coin whose worst day was 389 bp is a different thing from 30 bp on a coin that has never been past 60. Each figure links to the full list of that coin's episodes.

What to do when a reading crosses 50 bp

  1. Look at the other rows first. One coin at a discount and another at a premium on the same day is one event, not two. The coin at a premium is where the money went; the coin at a discount is where it left. If several coins are off at once, the problem is shared, and the usual shared thing is a reserve asset or a bank.
  2. Find out whether redemption is still working. The issuer's own status page or announcements will say whether $1 redemptions are being honoured. If they are, the discount is an arbitrage that institutions will close, usually within days. If redemptions are paused, the discount is information about the reserves and there is no reliable pull back toward $1 until it is resolved.
  3. Check how your card holds the balance. Some card programs convert your stablecoin to fiat at the moment you top up; others hold it as the coin until you spend. Only the second kind is exposed to the reading on this page. The practical checklist is in what a depeg does to a U-card holder.
  4. Do not top up during the episode if the card converts at market rate, because every dollar of coin you load becomes less than a dollar of balance. If the card converts at a fixed $1, expect the program to protect itself by pausing top-ups if the episode lasts.

What this page cannot tell you

How to check the reading against your own numbers

The quickest cross-check is the exchange you trade on: open the coin's USD or USDT pair and compare the last price with the price column above. A gap of a few basis points is normal; a gap of fifty or more means one of the two venues is thin, and the deeper of the two readings is the one to take seriously. On a card, compare the balance you received on your most recent top-up with the amount of coin you sent; the difference is the top-up fee on a normal day and the fee plus the discount during an episode. How top-up conversion works shows where to find that figure in a card app.
