Digital currency markets have continued to slide downward in value as the crypto economy has dropped by 14% during the past 24 hours. Amid the market rout, the native Terra blockchain token LUNA has dropped to fresh new lows, slipping to $0.0156 per unit. Terra’s founder Do Kwon revealed a plan on Wednesday, but after some brief healing, Terra’s native tokens LUNA and UST continued to plummet. Now people are beginning to wonder who backed this popular crypto project, and which crypto firms had a lot of exposure to the failing assets.
LUNA Token Value Drops to a US Penny, Do Kwon Remains Quiet, Former TFL Employees Come Forward, Crypto Entities Announce Zero Terra Exposure
The Terra blockchain project and the team Terraform Labs have had an incredibly rough week, as the platform’s two tokens shuddered in value against the U.S. dollar during the last few days. On May 11, 2022, the once-stable terrausd (UST) coin dropped to an all-time low of $0.298 per unit.
Additionally, the following day, LUNA tapped a low of $0.0156 per coin, and LUNA is now in a sub-100 position, after being a top-ten crypto coin by market capitalization. UST is currently ranked the 15th largest market valuation in the crypto economy today.
After Do Kwon addressed the community on Wednesday, the Terraform Labs founder has been silent again on social media. While Kwon was quiet, numerous entities in the crypto space came forward to explain that they had no exposure to UST or Terra-based products. “One of our Private users asked me via DM about Crypto.com exposure to UST,” Kris Marszalek, the CEO of Crypto.com, tweeted. “It’s $0. UST was never listed on Crypto.com and we didn’t participate in Anchor yield farming.”
Despite Terra’s implosion, the Major League Baseball (MLB) team the Washington Nationals referred to Terra in a tweet. The Nationals partnered with the blockchain project in mid-February and the team was supposed to accept UST for payments.
