The Terra USD stablecoin and the LUNA coin, both introduced in 2019, were created by Terraform Labs. TerraUSD used to be pegged to LUNA to stabilize its price. There have been many ups and downs in the voyage of this pair of coins, UST and LUNC. Do Kwon and Daniel Shin, two South Korean businessmen, launched Terraform Labs in Seoul in 2018. They introduced UST, a native stablecoin tied to LUNA, in 2019.

Stablecoins like UST were introduced to protect investors from the extreme price volatility of popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Especially since a stablecoin has a ‘fixed’ price.
As fiat currency is pegged to reserves such as gold, a stablecoin is pegged to either a fiat currency (e.g. USD) or a supporting cryptocurrency. In this case, TerraUSD was pegged to Luna. But herein lies the conflict. A cryptocurrency isn’t an equivalent to gold reserves. As Luna prices got destabilized, it had an impact on UST prices too, and the entire stablecoin system collapsed in the second quarter of 2022.
The stablecoin project was aimed at complementing the price stability and wide adoption of fiat currencies with the decentralized model of cryptocurrency.
