Don't remind me again today

Recently, I went through the two depegging incidents of a certain stablecoin project YU, to be honest, it was a bit painful.



The first time it decoupled, I was still watching, and I only pulled out after the price stabilized. I had participated in their liquidity mining before, and after all that, I still didn't make a profit. This experience really taught me a lesson.

Let me first talk about how the first decoupling occurred, which was in mid-September last year.

Specifically, on September 13, 2025, at 7:20 PM (UTC), an attacker began large-scale minting operations against YU, simultaneously transferring assets across chains. This timing is crucial because after the attack started, the anchoring mechanism of YU began to encounter problems.

From the evening of the 13th to the 14th, the decoupling situation became increasingly severe. Many coin holders were discussing in the community whether to cut losses and exit, and the panic sentiment in the market spread rapidly.

This thing is really a trap, the feeling of losing everything in liquidity mining... That wave of decoupling completely crashed.

Looking at this de-pegging event, it reminds me that the promises of those Liquidity Mining were really all false. They just held on until it stabilized before running away, I've seen this method too many times, it's really a tuition fee rhythm. That wave of attacks in September was actually quite typical, mass minting combined with cross-chain transfers, this combination is impossible to defend against. The funniest part is that the community discussed whether to Cut Loss, in the end, everyone did, and no one was there to catch a falling knife at the high. I have completely lost faith in this YU project, the trust is gone after the stablecoin has been de-pegged once, no matter how stable, it can't come back. Everyone has greed, otherwise they wouldn't go to mine in that YU Liquidity Mining Pool, looking back now it's really foolish.

I have to say, I was also a witness to YU's depegging, watching the price plummet was really painful... Liquidity Mining was Rekt, this lesson has been learned, brother. That wave of attacks in mid-September was truly hard to defend against, mass minting directly tore the mechanism apart. I only managed to escape after it stabilized, what a drunken experience, this is what they call the art of being trapped. The stablecoin projects keep experiencing these depeggings, it feels like there's a new trick every time, really need to learn to stop loss in time.

Oh no, this YU stablecoin is really a trap, I have been trapped before, and it annoys me to see it now. Liquidity Mining has cost me so much that I don't even have my pants left, I should have run away earlier. Large-scale minting attack? It feels like the defense line is practically non-existent. These kinds of projects are really just passing the buck, whoever ends up holding it last is done for. When people's hearts scatter, it's hard to keep the team together, once it de-pegs everyone wants to escape, I didn't even realize and I lost money. So, it seems that the coins that look stable are the least stable, you still have to spread the risk.

This YU thing is really ridiculous, losing money on Liquidity Mining? That's just absurd. The attacker directly minted, feels like the protection is really weak. It's projects like this that make me increasingly distrust stablecoins. Fortunately, I didn't go all in at the time, otherwise it would have been over. It's the hardest to watch others Cut Loss, really.

Ah, that time I was also trapped pretty badly. The earnings from Liquidity Mining couldn't withstand the losses from the depegging. That's why I'm particularly cautious about stablecoins now; no matter how fancy the mechanism, it can't prevent attacks. To put it nicely, it's called risk education; to put it bluntly, it's just paying a tuition fee... This pit of Liquidity Mining... you really have to remember, high-yield things often hide big risks. That wave of depegging was indeed ridiculous, it was completely collapsed by the attackers. Now I only trust mainstream stablecoins; no matter how tempting the others are, I'm not touching them, brother.

This stablecoin from YU is really a joke; with such a big minting vulnerability, it still dares to claim safety... Just holding on until it stabilizes before running? This guy's mentality is really strong.
