Author: Eric, Foresight News The reason behind the collapse of xUSD issuer Stream Finance was finally clarified yesterday. The Delta neutral strategy experienced losses during extreme market conditions due to ADL (Auto-Deleveraging), which caused the collateral assets to suffer losses. The risks associated with entrusting funds to third parties for off-chain operations and employing cyclical leverage strategies accumulated over time. When third-party losses approached nearly $100 million, the situation abruptly escalated, ultimately leading to insolvency. In a 2023 article I translated, Professor Austin Campbell from Columbia Business School pointed out that Ethena's issued USDe is not a stablecoin but rather a share of Ethena's structured financial products. The de-pegging of xUSD itself has also impacted many DeFi strategies that relied on this "stablecoin," as well as some that used xUSD.

As a loyal believer in Ethereum, Wesley sold his house and car during the Bear Market, just to continue his Auto-Invest.

There are not many new developments to report this week, as the S&P 500 index has recovered from the shock of the non-farm payroll data and is approaching historical highs again. On the other hand, the Nasdaq index has benefited from strong earnings reports, setting a new record, ignoring the ongoing political turmoil of the Trump administration and new import tariff issues. Global risk assets also performed well, with European and Japanese stock markets rising due to ongoing trade resolutions, while the United States made concessions on tariff escalations and auto tax cuts. On the other hand, this week the US-China trade truce agreement is about to expire. Some market participants expect the deadline to be extended again, but there are also concerns that the US may impose new tariffs due to China's purchase of Russian oil — India has already been sanctioned for the same behavior. The good news is that the United States and Russia plan to draft a new Ukraine peace agreement ahead of this week's Alaska summit, which provides another boost for risk assets.
