Stablecoin Case Study
Analyzing the AvaltAsset investment team’s active management of an adverse market event
Saturday, May 7th, 2022
AvaltAsset team takes action While monitoring all open positions and the overall ecosystem, AvaltAsset’s DeFi & trading team noticed signs of instability regarding UST (increased price volatility, imbalanced Curve pool) and swiftly removed all exposure (approx. $16m) to mitigate risk.
Sunday, May 8th, 2022
Calm before the storm On Sunday the peg appeared to stabilize, fooling many other investors into believing the storm had passed. However, our analysis of the underlying metrics indicated more turmoil to come.
Monday, May 9th, 2022
UST begins to fully depeg Mass panic ensues among investors as UST begins to rapidly lose its peg. In a matter of hours, UST depegged by over 34%, wiping out billions of dollars in value.
Friday, May 13th, 2022
Decisive action pays off for AvaltAsset UST peg fails entirely, diving below $0.10 as the value of LUNA goes to zero. All crypto prices tumble as panic spreads throughout the market.
Risk Management Process
AvaltAsset’s risk management framework and credit due diligence helped avoid any exposure to distressed entities following UST’s collapse in May 2022.
Due Diligence Process
AvaltAsset’s Credit Due Diligence of potential counterparties led our Senior Credit Review Committee to avoid any relationships with many of the counterparties that came under pressure in June of 2022. Our Credit Due Diligence Analysis includes: Review of their Organizational Chart, Corporate Legal Structure, and Balance Sheet* Extensive questionnaire of Risk Management & Security Structures, Counterparty Diversification/Concentration, and impactful credit or liquidation events.
Quick Action & Exposure Reduction
Terra’s demise and ensuing market events led 3AC and a number of CeFi lenders to face insolvency issues, affecting the entire crypto market. During these events AvaltAsset quickly and successfully worked to remove exposure to distressed CeFi counterparties. AvaltAsset has since taken more of a risk-off approach in managing client assets during turbulent times, and will continue to evaluate market conditions for disciplined deployment of client assets.
