USDe Peg Monitor

Overview

This indicator tracks the performance of USDe's peg relative to other stablecoins.

The computation is straightforward:

  • Price of Asset A / Price of Asset B = Relative Price

This tells investors and managers of the pool how much one asset is worth in terms of the other, highlighting any deviations from their typical 1:1 peg.

How can I use it?

For stablecoin pools, it's crucial to maintain a peg to an underlying asset, typically the USD. This indicator helps detect when a stablecoin begins to deviate from its peg, which can signal financial instability or external market pressures.

Moreover, liquidity providers (LPs) who deposit into a pool need to be aware of the relative values of the assets they are dealing with. A significant discrepancy in the asset values could indicate an increased risk of temporary or permanent loss. Monitoring this indicator allows LPs to react promptly.

Additionally, this indicator helps users analyze USDe's performance compared to other stablecoins. In scenarios where USDe experiences a depeg, users can explore potential opportunities by examining other pairs indicated, as well as further investigate the collateral backing of USDe. This analysis could potentially uncover arbitrage opportunities.

Finally, a stable relative price indicator is often a sign of a healthy liquidity pool. Large fluctuations can suggest liquidity issues, manipulative trading, or external economic impacts, prompting further investigation.
