Luna Financial News

It is no longer news that investors in Terra’s LUNA have been counting their losses since the collapse of the token following the depegging of the UST Stablecoin. Speaking on its own woes, the founder of Avalanche Foundation and the CEO of Ava Labs, Emin Gun Sirer in a recent interview with Forbes stated that the foundation has lost $60m following the failure of the Terra ecosystem.

Investors have lost a significant chunk of their savings from the damage caused by the Terra [LUNA] crash. Well, the incident sent shockwaves across the crypto ecosystem, dragging down the entire market. Around $45 billion was wiped off the two tokens’ market cap within a week- for starters.

The LUNA and UST crash have shifted the spotlight on other crypto projects running decentralized stablecoins, such as NEAR’s USN. The latter is among the fastest-growing blockchain networks. However, a lot of investors seem to be questioning if that growth trajectory would suffer the same fate as Terra?

Terra (LUNA) is headed to walk on the difficult path post the collapse, particularly after sweeping the rubble. The foundation is looking to sort the pieces into a block to rebuild the protocol. It is an opportune time for the regulators to look for a comprehensive stablecoin regulation, while the blockchain is in mea culpa followed by introspective solutions. On Terra’s governance proposal portal, 80 per cent of eligible token holders that voted are pushing to rebuild the protocol, minus the algorithmic component.

Once valued at $119 at its highest, Terra today has three zeroes after the decimal before a number appears. Trading at $0.0001902, LUNA has lost 100% of its value this month.

“I no longer feared the darkness once I knew the phoenix in me would rise from the ashes”, said Ms. Luna.

The recent market crisis has debunked several market fallacies, particularly in the lesser-known area of cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies.
