The cryptocurrency market experienced a significant crash on October 11, primarily driven by the depegging of the high-yield stablecoin USDe. While initial market jitters were sparked by Trump's tax hike comments, the real destabilizing force was the recursive leverage system built around USDe. This system created a massive leverage chain between DeFi and CeFi platforms.
The depegging of USDe led to a cascade of liquidations, resulting in systemic deleveraging across the market.

It serves as a cautionary tale about the hidden risks associated with high-yield financial products.
