Dai is 60% backed by USDC

This suggests only 5% being backed by usdc: https://daistats.com/#/collateral

The last section, "Dai from PSM-USDC-A", is also USDC in the peg stability module.

Technically still not 60%, but thank you for pointing this out! I was not aware of this.

If i interpret this correctly, this could lead to a very high spike in interest for dai lenders on other collateral currencies, in case the usdc collateral goes bad.

DAI is managed decentrally by MKR holders so not really. At least not in a way that you wouldn't be able to do with any crypto.
