Why a Stablecoin Depeg Is Crypto’s Biggest Systemic Risk—and What Needs to Change
Stablecoin depegs poses a greater systemic risk to the crypto ecosystem than a Bitcoin crash, as stablecoins are integral to liquidity, DeFi, and user trust, with a depeg potentially causing cascading failures like the TerraUSD collapse in 2022.
Current transparency, collateral quality, and accountability among leading stablecoin issuers are insufficient—Tether’s lack of full audits, USDC’s exposure to banking risks, and algorithmic stablecoins’ fragility highlight the market’s vulnerability to the next depeg event.
To mitigate risks, the market should enforce real-time audits, prioritize high-quality collateral like U.S.
Treasuries, strengthen regulatory oversight, and diversify stablecoin usage to reduce reliance on a few dominant players. Stress-testing mechanisms and educating users on risks are also critical steps.
Bitget actively supports these efforts by advocating for stricter standards, exploring on-chain verification, and educating users to ensure the ecosystem’s resilience.

Tariff Shock Triggers Crypto Sell-Off as Inflation Fears and Dollar Strain Boost Bitcoin Hedge Narrative
Trump’s unexpectedly harsh tariffs, including 10-49% tariffs on imports, may have sparked a panic-driven sell-off in the wider market, with ETH and SOL dropping ~6%, and the market shifting to stablecoins as fear spiked.
Beyond the initial shock, these tariffs threaten the U.S. economy, which could ripple into crypto markets.
Higher import costs—particularly from key partners like China —could accelerate inflation, with some models projecting a 2-3% CPI uptick by Q2 2025 if trade wars escalate.
Concurrently, the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow estimate of a 2.8% GDP decline for Q1 2025 may worsen as consumer spending and business investment falter under tariff pressures.
A weakening dollar from economic strain and potential Fed easing could boost BTC as a hedge, with data showing early accumulation trends.
However, altcoins may need stronger fundamentals to benefit in the long term.
