CoinGecko’s data

More details about the incident. On November 9, crypto exchange Huobi and TRON founder Justin Sun, who is a member of its global advisory board, announced a willingness to provide a 1:1 exchange of TRX, BTT, JST, SUN, and HT tokens for FTX’s affected users if the platform is unable to do so itself. As a result, the rate of Huobi’s native token on FTX jumped by 581% in 24 hours.

USDD’s current depegging from the dollar is not the first in the asset’s history. On June 13, it also temporarily dropped as low as $0,97. The asset currently ranks 61st in the cryptocurrency ranking with a capitalization of $706,98 million.

On November 9, CoinGecko provided data on a 3% decline in the rate of the USDT stablecoin from the Tether issuer. The company denied that the asset was depegged from the dollar, the aggregator’s team also explained that the reason for the incorrect display of the rate was a technical failure when connecting the API interface.

Previously, the MIM stablecoin, at 31,32% secured by FTX exchange’s tokens, lost its parity to the US dollar, dropping below the mark of $0,975. Now the asset has fully restored its peg.
