Circle has issued a statement regarding USDC and the depegging of the stablecoin following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB).
If 100% of the $3.3 billion that Circle held at SVB at the end of business on Friday is not returned, Circle promises that “as required by law under stored-value money transmission regulation, [we] will stand behind USDC and cover any shortfall using corporate resources, involving external capital if necessary.”
The USDC stablecoin has plunged to as low as $0.87 over the last 24 hours as fears of under-collateralization have infected the market.
This is a developing story.
