Pegging a non-dollar asset to $1 will eventually cause issues. Even USDT and USDC depegged, and they're not hedge fund coins. The only foolproof fix is using USDE as the denominator (@gametheorizing is correct). USDE will never be risk-free collateral for trading USDT pairs.
Debated 1v1 against @gametheorizing on whether synthetic dollars (e.g. Ethena) will lead to the next Luna-style crash, to a full house yesterday at @blockworksDAS in London. We held this debate just yesterday, right after the wreckage from the weekend. Who do you think won? 👇
My two cents: it's fine to use within the multi-asset collateral basket. @hosseeb makes a great point that the price should be set by multiple sources. However, advertising USDE as a "safe stablecoin" is reckless when it's backed by hedge funds taking perpetuals risk.
