TL;DR:
Since the launch of YieldBasis, crvUSD has seen increased volatility and larger peg deviations, though the stablecoin has mostly stayed near $0.999. High-volume flows from YieldBasis, combined with mercenary LP behavior, strain the peg despite Curve’s pegkeepers and borrowing rate mechanisms. Incentives to increase crvUSD liquidity helped temporarily but haven’t created “sticky” support. While YieldBasis appears to contribute to peg instability, broader market volatility is also a factor, and more analysis is needed before further scaling credit lines.
