Stablecoin falls 85% after losing its $1 peg

1 min read

MainStreet Finance’s MSUSD token plunged after Accountable terminated its validation agreement, sending the price down as much as 85% from the intended $1 peg.

Price Collapse and Liquidity Strain

PeckShield, a blockchain security firm, reported that the MSUSD price dip coincided with a 100% usage rate in the msY/$USDC market on Morpho. The chart tracking the token shows a steep decline, highlighting heightened liquidity concerns for investors.

Exposure of AlphaUSDC Delta V2

AlphaPING’s AlphaUSDC Delta V2 strategy now holds roughly 30% exposure to the MSUSD market, equating to about $18 million. This sizable allocation intensifies risk for the strategy’s investors as the token’s value continues to erode.

Infrastructure Concerns and Market Reaction

MainStreet Finance asserted that the protocol remains fully collateralized and that the issue stems from a disabled third‑party proof‑of‑reserves panel, not from asset loss. The organization warned that the oracle supporting the Morpho market will likely shut down within 24 hours, a development that could drive borrowing rates higher across the crypto market.
