USDC loses 20% of its market cap in 30 days



 Not only Bitcoin and other altcoins are suffering from the current bear market, but also stablecoins. Circle's stablecoin USDC has lost billions of USD in capitalization in just a few weeks.


Circle's USDC stablecoin's market cap has dropped dramatically since the Tornado Cash scandal.


Over the past month, USD Coin(USDC) has lost nearly 20% of its market cap, falling from $53.3 billion to just under $43.9 billion.


On September 26, nearly $5 billion was withdrawn from USDC in a single day, down nearly 9.2%.


This was the largest drop in USDC history. In July, the stablecoin peaked when it reached a market cap of $55.8 billion.


Although the stablecoin lost ground in July, the decision to freeze 75,000 USDC of funds associated with 44 Tornado Cash addresses was a pivotal event. This caused the stablecoin to lose an enormous amount of sympathy, leading to backlash and mass withdrawals.

MakerDAO also deposited a large portion of its reserves in USDC and considered Circle's intervention a violation of privacy rights. The project also spoke about ending its dependency on USDC, saying that given USDC's extreme degree of centralization, it could at any time meet the same fate as Tornado Cash-linked wallets.


Although everything seemed to indicate that MakerDAVO is turning its back on USDC, yesterday they announced the approval of a new proposal to deposit USDC on Coinbase's institutional custody platform and deposit up to $1.6 billion of their USDC reserves on Coinbase Prime, to generate 1.5% in rewards.


As USDC's capitalization continues to fall over the days, there are still large projects that continue to bet on a recovery.


USDC is also facing challenges from the ongoing battle for dominance of the stablecoin market, led by Binance. The crypto exchange wants to see its stablecoin number two on the market, thereby dethroning USDC.


Currently, BUSD has a market cap of $21.62 billion. Unlike USDC, Binance's stablecoin has steadily grown by more than 22% since August 12.


Binance and WazirX also delisted USDC last month, causing USDC to lose around 6% of its market cap.


While none of this bodes well for USDC's future, the stablecoin will likely manage to maintain its position among the top 5 cryptocurrencies. However, hard work needs to be done to regain the trust of the major crypto exchanges.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
