Interestingly, after the turmoil forced the USDC to lose its dollar pegging, investors seized the moment to increase their USDC acquisition according to on-chain activities from DEX platforms Curve Finance and Uniswap. Undoubtedly, this move signals investors’ confidence in the stablecoin to regain its dollar pegging.

Investor Reaction to the Collapse of US Crypto Banks

After the collapse of the crypto-friendly banks, a number of crypto firms revealed their level of exposure to the failed banks while several others distanced themselves and severed ties with the banks. Recall that USDC issuer, Circle announced that it has exposures of $3.3 billion in cash deposits stuck in the embattled SVB. The funds are roughly 8% of the overall reserve supporting the USDC.

Despite Circle’s level of exposure, the stablecoin issuer maintained that it will not stop carrying out its operations normally as he awaits to know how the collapsed bank’s receivership will affect its depositors.
