This is a question for those who are in the market when Luna crashed.
A friend is warning me to becareful with stable coins because if anything happened they could be affected and he made mentioned of Luna days.
I tried thinking what happened 🤔 I couldn't remember anything.
Can someone tell me if something happened to stable coins when Luna crashed some years back?
When LUNA crashed, investors began to lose trust in stablecoins. Centralized exchanges began offering proof of their reserves after the downfall of FTX thereafter. It took quite some time before trust rebuilt itself. As a result of the Terra/LUNA crash, the number of algorithmic stablecoins are relatively-scarce these days. They might as well be non-existent. A good thing, because it removed uncertainty surrounding stablecoins.
Collaterized counterparts, although centralized, have a much lower risk. It's what has been dominating the market these days. The next big thing is Bitcoin-backed stablecoins. Hopefully, things don't get messed up again in the future. Or it will be another LUNA 2.0 scandal.
