1/12 $UST is below $1 and lots of people are panicking, but let's relook at the fundamentals.
What is the relationship between $LUNA and $UST and three reasons why $UST will NOT depeg.
A short thread for a short crisis.🧵👇🏻
$LUNA $UST $ASTRO @terra_money #Terra #Lunatics
2/12 Let's go through what happened first.
There was a large sell order of $UST on curve.fi and @binance, causing $UST to fall below $1.
Rumors started spreading on Twitter, potentially a coordinated move, causing more panic and $2B $UST withdrawn on anchor.
3/12 Confidence was shaken and $LUNA tanked causing $UST confidence to further decline.
@jump_ sold some assets to buy up $UST helping to bring $UST back to $1 but as of this writing it's still below peg by under 1%.
So what now?
4/12 When $UST is below $1, because of its algorithmic model, anyone can buy up 1 $UST and convert it into $1 of $LUNA in Terra Station's market swap and sell on a centralized exchange, pocketing risk-free profit.
5/12 But what happens if $LUNA's market cap drops below $UST's market cap? Well, there will initially be a lot of FUD (fear uncertainty doubt) on how $UST is undercollateralized.
But this is important!
$UST is not backed by $LUNA, but rather, the demand of $LUNA.
6/12 As long as there are people looking to buy $LUNA, $UST can go back to peg.
And $LUNA is a deflationary apex asset that generates yield based on the activities within the network!
With many exciting protocols and partnerships coming, there'll always be $LUNA buyers.
7/12 But will $UST depegged? It's unlikely, at least right now. It is more likely for it go back to $1.
But has $UST depeg before? Yes it did, but we have far more defenses in play this time. Let's explore three of them.
8/12 Firstly, we now have the support of more VCs such as @jump_ and threearrowcapitals and more who bought $LUNA at $50 and they are very likely to protect that floor in order to protect their investments.
A floor in $LUNA means buying pressure, and that protects the peg.
9/12 We now have protocols like @teamkujira and @whitewhaleterra buffering anchor liquidations and arbing the ust peg so we don't get a cascading crisis scenario.
Unfortunately WW didn't do anything today as they only operate on layer 1s currently, please fix ser @SebastianJer7.
10/12 To further boost confidence in $UST, @stablekwon and @lfg_org have purchased billions of $BTC and $AVAX as alternative redemption models.
This means you can take your $UST you buy below $1 and redeem for $BTC near $1, adding some backing to $UST. This was not used today.
11/12 $UST and $LUNA has survived far worst in 5th of May 2021 and we're far stronger today to deal with $UST depegging crisis, but more work can be done to instill confidence.
Topping up of Anchor reserves this period is one way to bring back confidence to the ecosystem.
12/12 tldr; $1000 $LUNA is not a meme.
But it will be a bumpy ride so don't let the whales steal your $LUNA!
Stake it, forget it, and come back next year to enjoy it!
