Reserve balance depletion describes a situation where the underlying assets held to back a stablecoin or other collateralized digital asset fall below the required threshold. This condition signals a severe solvency issue, potentially leading to the de-pegging of the stablecoin from its intended value. Such depletion poses a significant risk to the stability of the digital asset ecosystem.
