The UST stablecoin is collapsing.
The news comes amid volatile markets for Terra's dollar-pegged UST stablecoin, which has fallen against the U.S. dollar in recent days. Recently, a large withdrawal of the Peg Protocol (CPN) appears to have triggered a decoupling, causing the UST to fall to $0.60 or 40% against the US dollar.
Terra's algorithmic stablecoin, UST Terra, has moved from a $1 peg to an all-time low of $0.74 in recent days. The UST is currently trading 13% below $1 to $0.85. Stablecoin continues to trade stably below its anchor. In addition, the Terra (LUNA) cryptocurrency is slowly recovering from a drop below $25 and is trading at $27.71 at press time. Indeed, Terra has lost 51.56% in the last 24 hours.
