> The creators of USDC could destroy their own coins to restore the 1:1 reserve peg. I doubt they'd do it, but it would immediately restore confidence.
Why should they? USDC is not an algorithmic stablecoin. For once, it's actually not a failure in crypto that lead to this depeg.
I'm not even sure they are allowed to do it by their own contracts with their clients as long as it is not clear that the USD at SBV is really lost.
