USR issuer Resolv Labs says its collateral pool remains intact after an exploit on Sunday that minted 80 million unbacked tokens and drove the US dollar stablecoin as low as $0.14.
Resolv Labs moved Sunday to reassure users after an exploit hit the issuance mechanics of its USR stablecoin, knocking the token off its dollar peg and prompting decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols with exposure to move quickly to contain any fallout.
