Stablecoin announcements surge since the GENIUS Act, however not all Stablecoins are equal.

In the past month, there has been 9 new stablecoin projects announced for launch, meaning soon investors will have a wealth of options when choosing where to park their money. However caution should be exercises as not all Stablecoins are equal and users should not blindly trust that the coin will remain ‘stable’.  

Within the same time period there have been 4 stablecoins which experienced significant ‘depegs’ (deviations of 20%+ from their $1 peg). These are USDe, xUSD, deUSD, and USDX. These depegs were part of a broader 2025 trend, with nearly half a dozen major incidents overall, exacerbated by thin liquidity, exploits, and market stress. Potential investors should always monitor redemption mechanisms and collateral transparency to mitigate risk.
