How Does a Stablecoin De-Pegging Event Affect the Insurance Fund?

A stablecoin de-pegging event, where the stablecoin loses its $1 peg, reduces the effective purchasing power of the insurance fund if it is held in that stablecoin. If the fund is meant to cover a deficit in USD terms, a de-pegged stablecoin will not be able to cover the full amount, potentially leading to a shortfall and the need for ADL.
