JPYC halts Ethereum stablecoin issuance after abnormal arbitrage
- —JPYC suspended issuance on Ethereum, with resumption after causes are determined
- —1 million JPYC on the secondary market was valued at about $21,300 instead of parity
- —Arbitrage on exchange reached about 3.31 million yen per transaction
- —Users report issuance and KYC failures, including on networks such as Polygon
Why it matters: The issuance failure of a yen stablecoin and its abnormal price point to problems with JPYC's peg mechanism and centralized control.
