External and Operational Risk
Liquidity Risk
USX has 1:1 redemption with USDC, and a portion of backing assets are deployed in offchain strategies. Offchain positions (sUSX → USX) take 15 days to unwind.
Mitigation Measures:
Principal preservation: Capital provided to the trading firm is governed by contractually structured loan agreements designed to preserve deployed principal.
Dual redemption model: 15 day standard redemptions or instant secondary market swaps.
Stablecoin Depeg Risk
USX is backed exclusively by USDC. If USDC loses its dollar peg due to Circle's operational issues, regulatory actions, or banking stress, USX's own peg and redemption value are directly compromised.
Mitigation Measures:
Real-time USDC price monitoring with alerts.
Emergency liquidity reserves maintained in USDC for redemptions during black swan events.
Halt minting USX tokens during significant USDC depeg events.
