The Origin of USTC and the Development History of the Terra Ecosystem
TerraUSD (UST), initially launched by Terraform Labs in late 2020, was designed to maintain a 1:1 peg with the US dollar through a mint-and-burn mechanism with LUNA (now LUNC). By early 2022, UST rapidly rose to become one of the major stablecoins, but lost its peg in May 2022 due to massive sell-offs, triggering a "death spiral" that led to the collapse of the Terra ecosystem and the evaporation of tens of billions of dollars in market capitalization. Since then, UST was rebranded as TerraClassicUSD (USTC) and no longer functions as a stablecoin, but rather as a volatile speculative asset. The Terra Classic community is actively exploring recovery plans, including burn mechanisms and re-pegging proposals. Co-founder Do Kwon was convicted on fraud charges, and regulators have also tightened their scrutiny of stablecoins.
