The US dollar against offshore RMB just broke through the 7 mark, but the price of USDT is only around 6.9. What does this mean? If you are holding stablecoins and doing nothing, just the exchange rate fluctuations can shrink your holdings by 5% within the year. Traders are starting to get uneasy. Originally, stablecoins were a safe haven tool, but now they have become a devaluation trap. In this market, the price trend of USDT is becoming increasingly closely tied to the tug-of-war between the US dollar index and the RMB's appreciation and depreciation. Holders need to think more carefully. Assets that seem stable are quietly increasing their risks amid significant exchange rate volatility.

Stablecoins are just a joke now, it's basically an accelerator for devaluation. I laughed when USDT dropped to 6.9. Is that still called stability? Holding stablecoins is like slow suicide; the exchange rate can vanish in a wave. Last year, they were hyping the safe haven myth, now it’s turned into a trap. 6.9 is truly incredible. If you can't wait, better get on board early. Stablecoins are dead, they just haven't had time to notify us. A 5% shrinkage this year? I calculated it, and I’ve shrunk as well.

Stablecoins are no longer stable now, I really can't hold on anymore. --- USDT devalued to 6.9? The dream of easy profits is shattered. --- Holding stablecoins can still lead to losses, I really didn't expect this. --- After some fluctuations in the exchange rate, has the safe-haven tool turned into an arbitrage machine? --- Is the 5% annual reduction true? Then I need to replan. --- With the US dollar index and RMB fighting each other, stablecoins being caught in the middle is too tragic. --- Originally wanted to stay safe and steady, but ended up in a devaluation trap. --- This competition is getting fiercer, even stablecoins have to watch the market. --- The phrase "risks quietly increasing" hit me. Appearing safe is the most dangerous. --- I never thought stablecoins could be played like this before. Learned something new.

Stablecoins are no longer stable; they've directly become a currency exchange betting game. USDT dropping to 6.9, and people still call it a stablecoin? That's hilarious. Those holding stablecoins are regretting it. They initially wanted to hedge risk but ended up getting caught. The US dollar appreciates while the RMB depreciates. Now it's stablecoins' turn to suffer. Really, now even stablecoins need to watch the market. What happened to being a safe haven tool?

Stablecoins are now a joke; even when bought to preserve capital, they are still depreciating. Damn, can you still lose money by holding USDT? This time really is outrageous. Exchange rates have been messed up, and stablecoins are also crashing; who would have thought? Hedging tools have turned into devaluation traps; this reality is really heartbreaking. At the price of 6.9, it feels like stablecoins are no longer stable. A 5% shrinkage, just lying around losing money—who can handle this? The RMB appreciation is a bit fierce, and USDT is also suffering. Who still dares to heavily hold stablecoins now? Isn't that suicidal? The game between the US dollar index and exchange rates—how can small retail investors compete? It seems necessary to treat stablecoins as dynamic assets; they are really unstable.

Stablecoins are really unstable now, losing value even while lying down --- USDT has shrunk to 6.9, is this still called a stablecoin? Laughing to death --- Holding stablecoins is equivalent to indirectly shorting the RMB, I'm drunk --- 5 basis points is not a small amount, and with this, how can it still be called a safe haven? --- Traders can't sit still, and I can't sit still either haha --- The US dollar breaks 7 against the RMB, appreciating, USDT is depreciating along with it, the logic is very clear --- Once a safe haven tool, now it has become a ticking time bomb --- With such large exchange rate fluctuations, still want stability? What are you thinking? --- Holding coins requires careful consideration, but thinking can't change reality --- Seemingly stable but hiding risks, just old tricks
