We understand that the current state of the deprecated bridged USDC reserve can create confusion, so we want to clarify what is happening and the actual impact.

### **Context on the Deprecated USDC Implementation**

The legacy bridged USDC on Gnosis (USD//C) is in the process of being deprecated, for which more information can be found [here](https://governance.aave.com/t/arfc-usdc-old-deprecation-on-gnosis-chain-instance/23189). This “unofficial” token no longer aligns with the infrastructure and directionality of the chain, and a newer, Circle-canonical form of USDC is now available. As part of the deprecation process, demand patterns shift significantly: when a reserve transitions toward phase-out, both borrowing and supplying behaviors diverge from normal market conditions, especially when constrained. In this specific case, the reserve is now fully utilized because a _single inelastic borrower_ with a $750K debt has not yet repaid their position, resulting in total borrows equal to total supply.

### **Impact on Withdrawals and Cross-Asset Behavior**

It is important to emphasize that this does not create cross-contagion across the rest of the Gnosis V3 market:

1. All non-USD//C reserves remain fully withdrawable. The situation in the deprecated USD//C market does not propagate to wstETH or any other listed assets.
2. Users supplying USD//C with no collateral usage (0% HF exposure) can withdraw all other assets without restriction.
3. Users supplying USD//C with _some_ collateral usage can still withdraw other assets, as long as their outstanding debt is sufficiently covered by the collateral value of assets _other than_ USD//C. In other words, if the non-USD//C collateral value (adjusted for LT) exceeds total debt, those assets can be withdrawn normally.

Because of these mechanics, the amount of \*non-\*USD/C _liquidity_ actually constrained by the fully utilized USDC pool is relatively small, approximately $11K in aggregate across all affected users.

We recognize this situation is inconvenient for a subset of users, and the teams are monitoring it closely. As with any deprecation process, the pool will return to normal withdrawability once the remaining borrower eventually closes their position.
