Tether CTO says Terra stablecoin was a recipe for disaster

 


Tether's CTO says Terra's idea of ​​creating a stablecoin was a recipe for disaster.


Tether (USDT) Chief Technology Offer (CTO) Paolo Ardoino has cited the Terra ecosystem as the main catalyst for the crash.


He was a guest on Kitco News , where he accused the Terra founders who created the UST stablecoin of being a recipe for disaster.


DA LUNA, the token that acted as the top collateral for UST, according to Ardoino, it was inevitable that the stablecoin would lose its dollar peg the moment the token crashed.


“To have a safe reserve, one cannot have cryptocurrencies, especially 100% cryptocurrencies. These guys created two things, their own cryptocurrency called LUNA and a stablecoin on top of that cryptocurrency. It's a recipe for disaster."


Furthermore, he noted that to avoid Terra's fate, stablecoins must have sufficient reserves, as is the case with Tether. In order to maintain the USD peg, Ardoino stated that there should be a portfolio of assets including US Treasuries, bank deposits and commercial paper.


After the collapse, Terra also made headlines after the bond temporarily fell. Ardoino explained that traders are trying to short the stablecoin at the moment. However, due to the collateral portfolio, Tether was able to hold its bond.


Tether has also said that the slight decline in the USD peg was due to a lack of liquidity on some crypto exchanges.


After the Terra ecosystem crash, Terraform Labs came under closer scrutiny for its role in the incident, which resulted in significant crypto losses.


As a result, company founder do Kwon was faced with allegations of fraud. The company reportedly laundered $4.8 million through a South Korean shell company through a scheme involving a Seoul-based blockchain consulting firm, K.”


Since then, South Korean authorities have been investigating early Terra developers, with reports suggesting that some officials were initially opposed to the launch of UST stablecoin due to potential "volatility."

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

British financial regulator criticizes cooperation between Binance and Paysafe

  The British financial regulator FCA has expressed concerns about the partnership between market-leading crypto exchange Binance and payment service provider Paysafe. As the British regulator complains, the partnership gives Binance access to the influential British payment network Faster Payments Service (FPS), from which the crypto exchange was previously cut off. Last June, the FCA ordered Binance to stop all business activities in Great Britain. As a result, prominent banks such as Barclays have terminated their cooperation with the leading crypto trading platform . Through the cooperation with Paysafe, Binance can now again offer deposits in British pounds sterling and transactions within the European Payments Area (SEPA). However, this fact is a thorn in the side of the FCA, as it classifies the crypto exchange as a “considerable risk factor”. However, the financial regulator sees little room for maneuver to counteract this, as the Financial Times reports . “ Paysafe understands
