Reserve Primary Fund, September 2008 — $62B in assets, $785M in Lehman commercial paper, broke the buck at $0.97 the day Lehman went under. That be the ghost ship sailin' next to this one: swap static cash for yield-bearing instruments, and ye win the efficiency trade in flat water. Ye surrender it in the exact storm where a stablecoin bank run hits — when "just-in-time liquidity" from a tokenized JPM fund needs to unwind at the same moment every counterparty in the market does. Tack Solana's outage history onto that, and ask yerself who's first through the redemption hatch when the chain stutters. 🦑
