USDX
Stablecoin Profile
USDX (USDX) is a crypto-collateralised stablecoin: users mint USDX by locking other crypto assets as over-collateral, with $6.2M currently in circulation across 1 blockchain networks. The USD peg is maintained through liquidation auctions when collateral value falls below required thresholds. Price feed sourced via defillama.
About USDX (USDX)
USDX is the crypto-backed native stablecoin of the Kava DeFi hub.
Using the Kava app, users mint USDX by depositing an accepted collateral asset into a vault. When the loan is repaid to retrieve the collateral, the paid back USDX is burned.
Recent supply activity
USDX (USDX) supply expanded by $40.3K (+0.65%) in the last 24 hours, expanded by $55.6K (+0.90%) over the past week, and contracted by $23.5K (-0.38%) over the past 30 days.
Steady issuance: supply has held roughly flat (-0.38% over 30 days), consistent with mature stablecoin liquidity dynamics.
Supply History
Network distribution
USDX circulates across 1 blockchain network. Kava hosts the largest share at 100.00%. Cross-chain distribution has remained broadly stable over the past 30 days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kava | $6.2M | 100.00% | +0.65% | -0.38% |
Peg stability history
As a crypto-collateralised stablecoin, USDX (USDX) maintains its 1.00 USD target by holding excess on-chain collateral and routing redemptions through automated liquidation auctions. Spot price is currently $0.5487 (-45.132%); short-term excursions of this magnitude are typically arbitraged away within hours via the protocol's open mint/redeem mechanics.
How crypto-collateralised stablecoins defend their peg
Crypto-collateralised stablecoins like this one over-collateralise positions — borrowers must lock more than $1.00 of crypto for each $1.00 of stablecoin minted. If collateral value falls below the required ratio, the position is automatically liquidated in an open Dutch auction. Arbitrageurs can always mint and redeem against the protocol's contracts, which keeps the secondary-market price tightly bounded around $1.00. The main residual risks are sudden crypto-collateral crashes that outpace the liquidation engine, and oracle failure.
Practical implications for holders
- Collateral volatility is the dominant risk: a fast drawdown in the collateral asset can outpace liquidation auctions and leave the protocol under-collateralised.
- Oracle risk: the protocol relies on price feeds (typically Chainlink or a multi-oracle setup). Oracle manipulation or delay during volatile markets has historically caused peg excursions.
- Governance risk: parameter changes (collateral types, liquidation ratios, debt ceilings) are decided by token-holder votes. Sudden governance attacks remain a tail risk.
- On-chain transparency is a major advantage — collateral is verifiable 24/7 without trusting an attestor.
- Mantapex tracks peg deviation in real time from DeFiLlama price feeds, but for high-value holdings cross-check directly on at least one independent venue (CoinGecko, the issuer's own dashboard, or an on-chain DEX).
Peg-stability commentary is based on the mechanism class (crypto-collateralised) and is provided for educational purposes only — it is not financial advice. Past peg stability is not a guarantee of future performance, and even the highest-quality stablecoins have historically traded outside their target band during banking, regulatory, or liquidity stress.
Compare USDX to other crypto-collateralised stablecoins
Below are the largest crypto-collateralised stablecoins tracked on Mantapex alongside USDX (USDX). Comparing supply and chain footprint within the same mechanism class is more meaningful than cross-class comparison, because the underlying peg-defence assumptions are different.
| Stablecoin | Supply | Mechanism | Chains |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sky Dollar (USDS) | $8.4B | crypto-backed | 6 |
| Ethena USDe (USDe) | $5.9B | crypto-backed | 23 |
| Dai (DAI) | $4.6B | crypto-backed | 48 |
| Falcon USD (USDf) | $1.6B | crypto-backed | 2 |
