On April 18th, according to market data, the de-pegging of the Synthetix USD stablecoin sUSD has deteriorated. It has fallen by 13.9% in the past 24 hours and is now trading at $0.7038 with a market capitalization of $22.96 million. Previously, Synthetix founder Kain stated that the sUSD reanchoring mechanism is in a transition period and he has sold 90% of ETH and increased SNX holdings. BlockBeats previously reported that the de-pegging of the Synthetix stablecoin sUSD was not due to bad debt or a mechanism failure but rather a side effect of SIP-420. The introduction of SIP-420 means that SNX stakers no longer individually mint sUSD and manage their own debts but instead delegate funds to a shared pool to achieve effects such as no liquidation and no personal debt. With debt concentrated in the public pool, when the sUSD trading price deviates from the peg value, stakers do not have a direct incentive to buy sUSD at a low price to repay debt, and the once-existing self-adjusting defense mechanism has now disappeared. The Synthetix team has stated that they are establishing new demand channels, such as integrating with Aave and Ethena and strengthening the Curve incentive mechanism.

Gold surged by 2.76% this week, reaching a historical high of $3,357.68 per ounce. US stocks also came under pressure, with the weekly declines of the Dow and Nasdaq exceeding 2.6%. The Federal Reserve's statement of "no market rescue" further intensified market anxiety.
