STBL was hovering around $0.09 before things took a sharp turn. A major trader dumped roughly $60,000 in USDC directly into the STBL/USDC pool—and the market felt it hard.
One transaction. That's all it took. The price collapsed over 50%, crashing down to around $0.04. Why the brutal drop? Thin liquidity. When a pool doesn't have deep reserves, even a single large trade can trigger massive slippage and send prices into free fall.
This is a textbook case of how vulnerable smaller trading pairs can be. Thin order books mean low friction for big moves—and not always the direction traders want. For anyone watching STBL or similar low-liquidity altcoins, this is a reminder: always check the pool depth before entering positions.

A single $60,000 trade has crushed the market like this? Liquidity is so shallow it's like a sieve.

A single investment of 600,000 dollars crashes the market; this liquidity is way too fragile...

A single 60k trade just broke the market, the liquidity is way too thin...

Another bloodbath for a small coin, liquidity is a nightmare... A single transaction of 60k can wipe out 50%, how shallow is that.

Wow, a single order directly slashed the market by 50%? This is the fate of small-cap coins.

A single transaction cuts the value in half directly; this liquidity is really fragile.
STBL hits the skids after massive liquidity shock
