What preceded it? On May 12, Terra developers announced that they would burn 1,38 billion UST to restore its peg to the dollar. The company is exploring the best way to destroy assets, with a special burn module to be opened for a while.
On May 10, Binance temporarily suspended withdrawals of the TerraUSD (UST) stablecoin and its securing token LUNA. The decision was taken due to “a high volume of pending withdrawal transactions” and “network slowness and congestion.”
Asset management company BlackRock and hedge fund Citadel Securities deny involvement in the situation with the fall in the rates of Terra coins. These announcements were made amid rumors that the companies borrowed 100 000 BTC from the cryptocurrency exchange Gemini to buy UST stablecoin and then sold the assets, causing the market to collapse.
