Abracadabra Money MIM Depeg June 2026
Summary
Abracadabra Money's Magic Internet Money (MIM) stablecoin experienced a severe depeg event in June 2026, falling from its $1 target to approximately $0.43–$0.50, a collapse of over 50%. The crisis built over ten days beginning June 15, 2026, and was accompanied by $994 million in cross-market liquidations and a broader crypto market downturn. Emergency measures launched June 25 — including sharply raised Cauldron interest rates and suspended Curve bribes — represent the protocol's fourth major stability incident since 2024.
