Recently, there have been developments in the cryptocurrency market concerning the tokens deUSD and USDX:
USDX:
- The USDX token experienced a depeg
- The fund had no direct or indirect exposure to USDX
- The token did not pass our internal due diligence, so we did not include it in our portfolio. Accordingly, this event had no impact on the fund’s assets
deUSD:
- The token’s issuer, Elixir, one of the largest holders of xUSD, faced a capital lockup, which made it impossible to maintain the token’s peg. As a result, the project announced its closure.
- The fund’s exposure to deUSD in our Excellion USDC Vault on the Lagoon platform amounted to approximately $50,000 USD. Since direct market sales are currently unavailable, the recovery process will take place through Elixir’s official claim. They have committed to reimbursing holders 1:1 in USDC. Based on our assessment, the estimated repayment period is around one week.
Our actions:
- Until the reimbursement process is completed, vault balances will not be updated, and withdrawals are temporarily paused.
- Automatic vault top-ups have been temporarily disabled to minimize potential risks.
It’s important to emphasize that this situation only affects the Excellion USDC Vault on Lagoon. All other fund assets remain secure, and operations continue as usual.
Elixir has worked tirelessly over the previous 48 hours and has successfully processed redemptions of 80% of all deUSD holders thus far (not including Stream).
As it stands now, Stream holds roughly 90% of the deUSD supply (~$75m), while Elixir holds a similar proportion of its remaining backing as a Morpho loan to Stream.
All remaining holders of deUSD and sdeUSD will be able to redeem for a dollar.
To protect the interest of these holders (and remove any risk of Stream liquidating deUSD before repaying their loan), a snapshot has been taken of all remaining deUSD and sdeUSD holder balances, and a claim page will go live later today. These parties will be able to claim USDC.
As a part of this, the mint/redeem infrastructure has been turned off, and we will be sunsetting deUSD in the near future. Any affected LPs in AMM pools or lending markets will be able to claim the full value of their position.
Given that Stream comprised of 99% of the lending positions (and has decided to not repay or close positions), we will work with Euler, Morpho, Compound and the curators moving forward to help distribute repayment of the Stream loan to liquidate these positions. We still believe this will be honored 1 for 1.
We will follow up to this post later today with claim page information.
