Why USTC Lost Its Dollar Peg

USTC was originally designed as an algorithmic stablecoin intended to maintain a value close to 1 USD without relying on traditional collateral, but instead on internal balancing mechanisms.

When these mechanisms collapsed and market confidence declined, the price moved outside its target range, and USTC ceased to function as a stablecoin.

Total Supply

To theoretically reach a price close to 1 USD with this level of supply, it would require a market capitalization in the billions of dollars, a significant reduction in supply through large-scale burn mechanisms, or a combination of both.

Despite multiple attempts and proposals to address the issue or restore the peg, these efforts faced fundamental challenges, most notably the oversized supply and the absence of sufficient backing.

As a result, restoring the peg through traditional methods is not considered realistic under current economic and market conditions.

Why a Conversion Path Was Chosen Instead of Repairing USTC

Directly repairing USTC would require fundamental changes to the asset's structure, along with substantial guarantees and a broad restoration of market confidence.

Any attempt to force a direct re-peg without these prerequisites carries significant risk and could place additional pressure on the market.

A conversion-based path allows the system to address the current reality without imposing a forced re-peg or relying on uncertain assumptions.

Rather than attempting to fix USTC itself, the conversion approach redirects value through a more controlled and disciplined pathway.

USTC Repeg Plan

This plan represents a gradual framework for addressing the current state of USTC, without attempting an immediate re-peg or unrealistic solutions.

USTC
Current Asset
USTR
Transitional
UST1
Final Objective

USTR is used as a transitional asset to reorganize value flows without offering peg guarantees or price assurances.

The final objective is UST1, a new stablecoin issued gradually and conditionally based on explicit collateral and demand rules.

5

How the System Works

The system operates through a gradual value transition from USTC to USTR and ultimately to UST1.

The process is governed by the CMM (Collateral Market Maker), which regulates issuance, burning, and liquidity flows automatically.

UST1 issuance halts automatically if defined collateral or demand conditions are violated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q Is participation mandatory?
No. Participation is entirely optional.
Q How is UST1 minted?
UST1 is minted conditionally, based on predefined rules related to collateral and demand. Issuance is not open-ended and halts automatically if the required conditions are not met.
Q What is the difference between UST and UST1?
UST relied on algorithmic mechanisms with rigid peg defense. UST1 is designed with conditional issuance and structural controls, representing a fundamentally different model rather than a continuation or rebrand of UST.
Q Is UST1 guaranteed to be worth 1 USD?
UST1 is designed to operate within a controlled range around 1 USD, approximately 0.98 to 1.02, without enforcing a rigid peg through aggressive mechanisms.
Q What makes UST1 stable?
UST1 relies on controlled issuance, conditional minting, and automated constraints rather than unlimited expansion or trust-based peg defense. Issuance occurs only when predefined conditions are satisfied and stops automatically if those conditions are violated.
Q How can UST1 be obtained?
UST1 cannot be obtained directly. The only path to UST1 is by holding USTR, from which UST1 may be issued conditionally when system requirements are met.
Q What is the expected price of USTR?
USTR does not have a fixed or guaranteed price. While the long-term reference is aligned with 1 USD, the actual value of USTR is determined by market dynamics, as it functions as a transitional asset rather than a price-pegged instrument.
Q How does USTR move closer to 1 USD?
After the 100-day conversion window, UST1 is introduced as the final stage of the path. Its introduction is expected to increase structural demand for USTR while activating controlled issuance and burn mechanisms, allowing market forces to gradually guide pricing toward the intended reference without enforcing a fixed peg.
