Stablecoin USX on the Solana chain recently faced a liquidity crisis. On-chain data shows that a large amount of liquidity was withdrawn from trading pairs, causing USX to severely depeg in the secondary market, dropping to as low as $0.1, far from the target price of $1. This extreme situation highlights the risk exposure of this stablecoin. Fortunately, Solstice injected new liquidity into the trading pairs, and the situation was reversed—the price of USX gradually recovered to around $0.94. This case serves as a reminder that even within leading blockchain ecosystems, the liquidity depth of stablecoins is a key risk point. Relying on a single source of liquidity or overly concentrated trading depth can trigger chain reactions under extreme market conditions. For investors trading or holding stablecoins on Solana, monitoring the health of liquidity pools is especially important.

actually, this is precisely what i've been theorizing about—the algorithmic fragility of liquidity primitives in supposedly "mature" ecosystems. usx's depegging to 0.1 isn't just a market event, it's a computational failure revealing the topological weakness inherent in centralized liquidity design.

$0.1? Damn, that's too exaggerated. What does this indicate at one point?

$0.1? Really? That’s so terrifying... Luckily, someone stepped in to save the situation, or how many people would have been wiped out?
