It further noted that this situation could lead to investor losses due to potential instability, as SNX serves as collateral for sUSD.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The platform also stated that it had identified a lack of use cases for the asset, which could lead to investor losses. Upbit announced it would perform a detailed review to determine whether to delist the asset or restore normal operations for the token.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bithumb has similarly <a data-ct-non-breakable=\"null\" href=\"https:\/\/feed.bithumb.com\/notice\/1648278\" rel=\"null\" target=\"null\" text=\"null\" title=\"null\">halted<\/a> deposits for SNX and included a cautionary label for the token. Nevertheless, the exchange mentioned that this decision could be reconsidered based on internal factors. If the reason for the designation is resolved, Bithumb claimed it would lift the restrictions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Korbit and Coinone also released investor alerts to warn traders. Both exchanges added cautionary tags to SNX tokens to notify investors who might be interested in trading the token.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cointelegraph reached out to Synthetix for insights but did not receive a reply by time of publication.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Related: <\/strong><\/em><a data-ct-non-breakable=\"null\" href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/south-korea-crypto-2025-q1-crackdown-season\" rel=\"null\" target=\"null\" text=\"null\" title=\"null\"><em><strong>South Korean crypto emerges from failed coup into crackdown phase<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>sUSD faces challenges to regain dollar peg<\/h2>\n<p>On April 10, the sUSD stablecoin <a data-ct-non-breakable=\"null\" href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/synthetix-usd-stablecoin-depeg-83-cents\" rel=\"null\" target=\"null\" text=\"null\" title=\"null\">plummeted to a five-year<\/a> low of $0.83 after failing to sustain its dollar peg in the first quarter of 2025. With the stablecoin backed by the project\u2019s native asset, Cork Protocol co-founder Rob Schmitt likened the token to Terra USD (UST), which collapsed in 2022.
