Solstice’s Solana-based USX Stablecoin Faces Major De-Peg
The USX stablecoin on the Solana blockchain briefly lost its peg on secondary markets after a liquidity drain triggered sharp selling pressure. During the incident, USX fell to $0.10, raising short-term concerns among market participants.
The Solstice stablecoin launched in September 2025, in partnership with other blockchain networks such as Chainlink. However, such an incident could prove to be a roadblock to the stablecoin’s growth in the future.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Solstice was aware of the spike in volatility affecting the USX stablecoin in secondary markets and addressed it. The team stated that the disruption was limited to liquidity conditions and did not impact the asset’s underlying backing.
In a statement released late Tuesday, the company said the net asset value (NAV) of USX. Solstice also added that the custodied assets supporting the stablecoin are secure and more than 100% collateralized.
The DeFi protocol said that it is open to a third-party attestation to verify the reserves independently. According to the platform, the de-peg occurred primarily due to a secondary-market liquidity imbalance rather than any issue with the collateral or redemptions.
Solstice also claimed that the 1:1 redemptions are continuing to operate normally. The company emphasized that the volatility did not impact its internal operations and reserve structure.
