# USX's Eighteenth Morning

## Executive Summary

USX at 5,783 bps below peg for the 429th hour, while DAI graduated back to CALM at $4.87B mcap. One depeg refuses to resolve; the rest of the tape moves without it.

## Extended

USX sits 5,783 bps below peg at $0.997, unchanged for another 24 hours; the depeg is 429 hours old, roughly eighteen days of a stablecoin doing nothing stable and nothing volatile. Market cap $20.81M grades F on peg (33) and F on liquidity (14). The chronic label fits, but chronic does not mean resolved, and the impact severity has not budged from the threshold.

**DEWS Rotation** DAI dropped from WATCH to CALM at $4.87B mcap, one of five band changes that skewed positive. USD0 added ten liquidity points to score 52 on $552M mcap. sDAI moved the other way: score 67 to 48, TVL falling from $35.74M to $8.96M in a session. PMUSD holds at 5,568 bps below peg on $72M, a larger loss pool that the USX headline keeps eclipsing.

PSI ticked to 91.9, extending BEDROCK to 16 days while total mcap sits 4.78% under its Digest-window ATH of $353.55B. spUSDT drew $445M over seven days without moving any peg, the kind of rotation that makes a TENSION tape read like allocation homework. If DAI slips back to ALERT by tomorrow's snapshot, the first-day band change survives the noise test.
