📰 Trade Finance Due Diligence: 8 Questions Investors Should Ask
🗓️ Jul 16 2026 15:42 UTC - Andreas Schweitzer
The strongest trade finance managers may be defined not only by what they fund but also by what they decline.
➤ Trade finance investors must go beyond superficial risk-return models and focus on granular transaction-level due diligence, asking critical questions about buyer acceptance, delivery confirmation, and dispute potential.
➤ Recent fraud cases highlight the importance of rigorous underwriting and rejection discipline, emphasizing that the 'private credit' label is too broad for adequate risk assessment.
➤ Effective due diligence involves understanding what transactions are rejected as much as what is funded, with digital verification tools enhancing transparency but not replacing fundamental scrutiny.

📰 What is a stablecoin depeg?
🗓️ Jul 16 2026 13:00 UTC
A depeg is two different events that look identical. Liquidity vs reserve failure, the UST and USDC cases, and how oracles make it worse.
➤ A stablecoin depeg is defined by the distinction between a liquidity depeg (market price deviates but redemption is possible) and a reserve depeg (backing has failed), which look identical on charts but have vastly different outcomes.
➤ Key factors that maintain a stablecoin's peg include reserves, arbitrage through mint/redeem mechanisms, secondary market liquidity, and collateral design, with fiat-backed stablecoins being the most robust.
➤ While the GENIUS Act aims to reduce reserve failure risk for US issuers, it does not address liquidity-driven depegs or oracle-induced liquidations, highlighting ongoing risks in the stablecoin market.
