Stablecoins are shaky as USDT shows signs of depeg

As the cryptocurrency market continues to fluctuate, so does the overall market capitalization of stablecoins dropped by 0.25% over the past 24 hours with an average price change of 0.71%.

The downward move comes after the largest stablecoin by market cap, USDT, showed signs of decoupling. USDT price fell by 0.23% over the past 24 hours and dropped to a local low of $0.997 after the asset lost nearly $270 million in its market value.
