#数字资产动态追踪 About the Risks of USD1



Recently, I’ve seen quite a few discussions in the community about whether USD1 will lose its peg. I want to approach this question from a different perspective.

Let me start with a straightforward conclusion: the moment USD1 truly loses its peg, it’s very likely the same moment that $BTC breaks through 1 million. Sounds contradictory? Actually, it’s not.

Many people think USD1 is "as stable as a rock," but this perception has a significant blind spot. USD1 itself is indeed designed to be quite robust; from a technical standpoint, there’s almost no possibility of an immediate crash. But that doesn’t mean there’s no risk.

Look at $ETH—its code issues won’t make it disappear out of nowhere, but risks still exist. USD1 is the same way.

In simple terms, where does the biggest risk of USD1 come from? It’s from those key decision-makers. The founders’ ideas, their next moves, their level of control over the protocol—these are the real factors that can influence the project’s direction.

Some issues appear to be technical on the surface, but deep down, they are human issues.

If you’re interested, I’ll later discuss in detail the two core risk points behind this.
USD10,02%
BTC1,39%
ETH1,32%

Damn, human issues are always more fatal than coding problems.

Bro, I can't hold this logic anymore. Is a USD1 de-anchoring equal to BTC breaking 1 million? Feels like a forced correlation. I agree with the point about people's issues, but what really needs to be guarded against is the moral hazard of the founding team. How transparent USDT really is is worth debating. Waiting to see your core risk points, but on the other hand, once the trust crisis of stablecoins starts, it's very hard to save. Is this bull market coming, or are we just storytelling again?

Basically, it's about gambling founders; having stable technology doesn't matter much, as human nature is unpredictable.

The core is people; code is just a shell. This point is perfectly articulated.

Ultimately, it's a matter of human nature; the code is just a facade.

That's quite right. The fundamental risk of stablecoins in the crypto world is essentially a human nature issue. Human nature is the biggest black swan; technology is actually secondary. The decision-making of key figures hits the core, and this kind of centralization risk is more deadly than code bugs. Wait, de-pegging from USD1 = BTC million? That logic doesn't quite hold up. The founder’s excessive power is indeed a hidden danger; it needs to be guarded against.
