Cover Story: This study examines the stability, volatility, and co-movements of major stablecoins (USDT, USDC, DAI, and TUSD) around key economic and crypto events, like COVID-19, Iron Finance’s collapse, Terra-Luna’s downfall, FTX’s failure, and SVB’s crisis. Using wavelet methods, we find that USDT’s Coinbase listing in April 2021 reduced volatility. The SVB collapse strongly influenced the stablecoin market, with notable pairwise coherence during the pandemic, Coinbase listing, and SVB itself. After Terra-Luna’s collapse, USDT, USDC, and DAI became more interconnected, while USDC and DAI maintained links despite a negative co-movement with USDT. These findings highlight how exchange listings and systemic shocks shape stablecoin volatility, providing insights for investors, regulators, and the crypto community. View this paper
