RE: Bitshares Black Swan and the troubles of stablecoins

in #bitshares6 years ago

SBD which was collateralised (in the optimal case) at 200% before but now is at laughable 110%

If SBD drops to <100% collateralization, will it get force-liquidated as happened with bitUSD, or was that measure not built into the Steem protocol?

Sort:  

In the case of SBD there is no forced liquidation. The only thing that is changed is that manual conversions will not give 1$ of steem anymore, but less. The conversion amount is computed such that when all sbd would be computed at once the converted steem is no more than 10% of the steem in circulation.

The markets are quite rational and the price you see on coinmarketcap is usually close to the amount guaranteed by conversions.
