Today's Topic - UST broke down seriously, LUNA dropped nearly 60% in 24 hours, and the BTC address balance of LFG Foundation was cleared.


On May 10, UST has fallen to $0.75, the lowest to $0.62, and has broken down seriously. LUNA fell to $27, down more than 60% in 24 hours. According to data monitoring, Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) of Terra ecosystem non-profit organization withdrew 28,205.5 Bitcoins again at 09:20:26, and the balance of the address was cleared as of the time of sending the document.

The day before yesterday, Do Kwon, founder of Terra, tweeted that the LFG Council had just voted to deploy $1.5 billion ($750 million for BTC and $750 million for UST) to alleviate market concerns about UST.

Do Kwon further added: First, LFG does not intend to exit its Bitcoin position. The goal is to let professional market makers master these funds. If the price is less than the anchor price, they will buy UST. If the price is greater than or equal to the anchor price, they will buy BTC, so as to significantly strengthen the liquidity around the anchor price of UST.

Previously, LFG tweeted that the LFG Council had voted to implement the following measures: 1. Lending a $750 million BTC to an OTC trading company to help protect the UST anchor price; 2. Loan $750 million of UST to accumulate BTC when market conditions normalize.

Today's Influencer - the Federal Reserve stressed the risk of running on stablecoins in its financial stability report


On May 10, the Federal Reserve stressed the risk of the stablecoin market operation in its newly released financial stability report. The report said that some types of money market funds (MMFs) and stablecoins are still easy to run, and the financing risk of domestic banks in the United States is low, but some money market funds, bond funds and stablecoins still have structural vulnerabilities.

As early as January, Fed researchers published a study on the risks and benefits of stablecoins. The research report said that if Congress does not enact new laws for the industry, the financial stability supervision commission may intervene to supervise the stablecoins.

Previously, the price of UST fell to $0.62 today, representing a breakdown of nearly 40%.
