  It is highly unlikely that detaching the USDC stablecoin from its peg would not cause any market volatility. The whole purpose of a stablecoin is to maintain a stable value, and any sudden detachment from its peg would disrupt the market and lead to price fluctuations. However, if the detachment is done gradually and with proper communication to the market participants, the impact on market volatility can be minimized.

  No way! Detaching USDC from its peg would definitely cause some serious market volatility. Stablecoins are designed to maintain a stable value, and any sudden change in their value would create chaos in the market. Traders and investors rely on the stability of stablecoins, and any disruption to that stability would lead to panic selling and buying, resulting in market volatility.
