How The Depeg Of Circle’s USDC Affected The Industry?<\/h2>\n

After the banking crisis and widespread panic, DeFi protocol MakerDAO issued<\/a> an emergency proposal on March 11. Therein, the community called for restrictions on minting DAI using USDC to prevent panic selling by investors. In this sector, the number of withdrawals increased after the incident with USDC. <\/span><\/p>\n

From a customer perspective, the capital held on USDC as a stablecoin couldn’t be converted to another token or redeemed for fiat currency, waiting for Circle news or USDC to re-peg to the US dollar.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday, other protocols and projects revealed their exposure to Circle’s Silicon Valley Bank reserves, including failed crypto-lender BlockFi, Avalanche, Yuga labs, Proof, and Paxos.<\/span><\/p>\n

DeFi Ignas says DeFi is built on USDC liquidity, considered the safest collateral. <\/span>However, for the researcher, if the reserves are held in cash in traditional financial institutions, trust in USDC ultimately relies on trust in traditional finances (TradFi), the banking system, and the government.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the expert, DeFi is a “failure” because it relies on centralized stablecoins, web2 infrastructures, and traditional on-ramping payment processes, giving the government the power to decide to shut down most components of DeFi at any time if it chooses to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n

On-Chain Finance Instead Of DeFi<\/h3>\n

Decentralized finance platforms don’t require third parties to process transactions; all activity is conducted between users peer-to-peer or between users and the platform. However, if a link of DeFi is based on TradFi, it compromises the entire protocol, according to the expert.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rebranding DeFi as On-chain Finance allows it to retain “key” DeFi benefits. For example, securing the self-custody wallets as a store for “private keys,” boosts its liquidity, leading to a larger buy-side market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another benefit that a rebranding of DeFi could lead to is increased “composability,” which allows a chain of decentralized applications to be connected in tandem, increasing efficiency as assets can be used within multiple applications simultaneously, with zero friction costs and no permissions required.<\/span><\/p>\n

One protocol moving in the direction of on-chain finance highlighted by DeFi Ignas is FRAX. <\/span>The vision of the FRAX protocol is to provide highly scalable, decentralized, and algorithmic money in place of fixed-supply digital assets like Bitcoin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to DeFi Ignas, Frax aims to get as close to the Federal Reserve (Fed) as possible, thereby removing the risk of USDC and failing banks like Silicon Valley Bank or Signature Bank. He added:<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, the USDC crash is embarrassing to DeFi as the risk stemmed from a TradFi bank. It’s now clear to everyone that DeFi is more decentralized than we pretended it to be. So, rebranding it to on-chain finance would equalize the current reality of what DeFi really is.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

USDC has regained its 1:1 peg with the dollar, but the recent drop below $0.87 has shaken investor confidence. In the DeFi sector, the consequences will continue to ripple in the coming months as users’ confidence remains shaken.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
