Dec 07,2022
KingData News: Cryptocurrency researcher FatMan tweeted that new blockchain data reveals the root cause of the May UST depeg. In the 3 weeks leading up to the depeg, one entity dumped over $450m of UST on the open market. 4 days after their last sale, UST started collapsing. And that entity is Terraform Labs.
This indicator provides follow-up on the depg of Terra's stablecoin UST on May 8th. Terra's stablecoin UST briefly lost its peg to the U.S. dollar on May 8th, dipping as low as $0.985. The depeg event came after a series of multi-million dollar UST selloffs as one account traded about $85 million worth of UST for USDC on Curve Finance, while another user reportedly sold $108 million worth on Binance. UST posted a slight recovery shortly after Terraform Labs CEO Do Kwon posted a tweet calling out the stablecoin's critics.
