Aegis: Rethinking Stablecoin Yield
As crypto markets evolve, DeFi protocols continue to explore new methods of delivering yield while minimizing user risk.

On October 10th, President Trump announced 100% tariffs on Chinese imports, triggering a chain reaction that became the largest liquidation event in cryptocurrency history.
Within 24 hours, over $19 billion in positions were wiped out. More than 1.6 million traders were liquidated. Bitcoin fell from $122,000 to $102,000, a 13% decline. Ethereum dropped 15–18%. Across the market, altcoins collapsed by 50-90%.
The sell-off was intensified by structural flaws on major exchanges, cascading liquidations across the industry and erasing billions in value in a matter of hours.
Yet amid the most violent stress test the digital asset ecosystem has ever seen, YUSD held its peg flawlessly.
While major assets crashed and centralized platforms malfunctioned, Aegis continued to operate flawlessly:
YUSD held its $1 peg across all decentralized exchanges
No collateral was lost
No systems failed
The magnitude of the collapse makes this stability even more remarkable. As BTC and ETH shed hundreds of billions in market capitalization and on-exchange stablecoins briefly deviated from their pegs, Aegis systems functioned exactly as designed. No redemption delays occurred, liquidity remained deep, and every YUSD stayed fully backed and accessible.

Aegis was built to eliminate single points of failure and counterparty exposure. During the October 10th event, several key design choices proved decisive:
Off-exchange settlement via Copper Clearloop: Aegis positions are held with institutional custodians, meaning collateral never sits directly on exchanges. This prevented any exposure to on-platform malfunctions or mispriced collateral systems.
COIN-M Perpetual Contracts: Aegis operates on COIN-M contracts, which isolate BTC-denominated exposure and remove the risks associated with USD-M contracts that depend on external stablecoins.
No Price Exposure: The delta-neutral structure ensures YUSD’s value remains stable regardless of BTC’s market movements. The system continually hedges market risk, keeping every unit of YUSD fully backed and neutralized.
Insurance Fund: A dedicated $600,000 insurance fund exists to cover adverse market events or negative funding scenarios, reinforcing user confidence and capital integrity.
Real-time Proof of Reserves: Aegis integrates with Accountable, offering continuous, on-chain proof of reserves and liabilities. Every user can independently verify that assets and collateral are exactly where they should be.
These mechanisms worked seamlessly during one of the most violent liquidity shocks in market history.

The recent liquidation cascade underscored a truth many in crypto overlook: knowing where your collateral is matters. Billions were lost because assets were rehypothecated, mispriced, or trapped within opaque systems.
Aegis stands apart. Transparency and security are embedded in our core architecture. Every YUSD in circulation is fully backed, transparently verifiable, and protected by institutional-grade custody and insurance.
When volatility strikes and trust in infrastructure is tested, systems built on transparency, neutrality, and collateral integrity endure.
Choose Aegis, because your money deserves better.
