Today's Topic - Algorithmic stablecoin should have a crypto asset reserve pool at least three times the market cap


In an online interview, Tether CTO Paolo Ardoino expressed his views on the panic against UST caused by the recent decoupling of UST.

Ardoino believes that it may be feasible for algorithmic stablecoin in the range of tens of billions of dollars, but if it is to carry tens of billions of dollars of liquidity, the robustness of algorithmic stablecoin is unknown. "I think algorithmic stablecoins should have a crypto asset reserve pool of at least three times the market cap, although this will affect growth; in contrast, Tether has strict dollar asset reserves, which can deal with possible black swans."

Do you think Tether is stable?

Today's Influencer - Larry Cermak: Terra's only way out of this dilemma is to turn to USDT/USDC and develop L1


Larry Cermak, vice president of Block research, said on twitter that LUNA is less than $0.05, which is actually just providing exit liquidity for UST holders - the number of bad debts is endless. Even so, it only sells for $0.05. Liquidity will soon begin to dry up at this rate, and Terra must actually reverse this decision anyway.

"I think the only way out of this dilemma is to temporarily abandon UST, turn to USDT/USDC and fully develop the L1 ecosystem. Then, as L1 grows, to promise to fund collateral or repay UST’s bad debts. If this does not happen, both sides can return to zero," Cermak said
