Distributions for the July 27 SKHYNIX pricing event have gone out. Each eligible liquidation was measured against a reference price of $1,115.5. Where the resulting amount is under 10,000 USDC, wallets have been credited in full, and no action is needed. Where it exceeds 10,000 USDC, an initial 9,999 USDC has been credited. We are required to conduct enhanced due diligence for amounts in excess of 10,000 USDC. Please reach us through support at app.trade.xyz/support to complete this process before August 15. Thank you to our users for their patience this week.
On July 27 at 23:01 UTC, SKHYNIX mark price dropped from $1,127.9 to $917.25. This print was based on an executed trade which was relayed by multiple independent data providers. The XYZ oracle was live in external pricing and tracking that venue, which serves as the primary Korean pre-market venue. The oracle system worked as intended according to its specification. While the system performed as designed, users are understandably upset about liquidations that were triggered. Market integrity is among Trade[XYZ]'s core values, and we understand the trust of our users has been, and will continue to be, earned. With these values in mind, we have decided to cover liquidation losses attributable to this anomaly. Eligibility requirements will be conveyed soon, and distributions are anticipated to be completed in the coming days. This is a one-time discretionary decision and is not a guarantee of similar future action. Going forward, our pricing systems will be further improved to handle tail events. We are accelerating our review of how prices are formed, including revisiting assumptions on external venues, and taking into consideration the price formation which occurs on our own orderbooks, which carry increasingly meaningful depth and signal in relation to external sources. We will share further information soon.
