Synthetix’s Algorithmic Stablecoin Susd has continued his monthly Depeg, now almost 21% under the PEG of $ 1 exchanged.
According to Coingecko’s price data, SUSD has fallen to $ 0.7924 from 17 April, a decrease of more than 8% in the last 24 hours. Market capitalization has fallen from the beginning of April from $ 30 million to $ 25 million from the time of the press. Due to the ongoing Depeg, the market activity has increased, as is the increase in 320% in 24-hour trade volume to $ 794,081.
SUSD is a synthetically actively published on the Synthetix (SNX) protocol, supported by its native token SNX and designed to follow the price of the US dollar with Chainlink (link) Oracles. However, recent protocol changes have disturbed that stability.
The current Depeg started in March and deepened after the implementation of Synthetix improvement proposal 420, which aims to increase capital efficiency. SIP-420 introduced a strike pool of protocol, also known as the “420 Pool”. This new structure enables SNX holders to delegate their interest in a shared pool instead of managing their own debt positions.

SIP-420 also cut the required collateralization ratio from 500% to 200%, making it easier to mint Sus. This change has led to a strong increase in Susd Supply without a corresponding increase in demand. Now, with a few curve (CRV) Pools that show more than 90% SUSD, the oversup has led to further fall the price.
The Synthetix team has recognized the problem and calls it a ‘transition period’. In a Discord statement, the team said that it is planning to improve the stimulus of the Curve -Pool, to expand the Infinex deposit campaign and introduce new use cases such as Snaxchain to absorb surplus sus.
Nevertheless, Defi analysts remain skeptical. “I don’t see who would like to endorse the risk of keeping $ SUSD,” said an analyst in a post on X, pointing to the lack of a clear Repeg strategy that is supported by Treasury Capital.
