LUNA Crash Hits This Altcoin: Trading May Stop!

Terra’s (LUNA) largest Defi platform, Anchor Protocol, plans to stop after the UST collapse. Anchor was providing a 20% return to investors staking UST. The community is now voting to shut down the platform.

LUNA platform can discontinue Anchor Protocol, community votes

Anchor Protocol, Terra’s largest DeFi platform, recently decided to freeze Anchor Earn. It is recommended to stop borrowing functions to protect against attacks. The community now votes to decide the fate of Anchor Protocol. Given that 70% of the stablecoin supply was locked onto the platform, Anchor was essentially ground zero for the UST crash. Stablecoin’s price instability triggered one of the biggest crashes ever.

Terra 2.0 down 80% off ATH price

Anchor Protocol reports users have chosen to limit its functionality. All actions on the platform are now passive, except depositing USTC to withdraw funds and receive AUST. However, interest-free deposits will remain open permanently. This allows Miror Protocol to use aUST as collateral to earn tokens whenever borrowers need to offer any margin call.

More than 23.11% of users voted “Yes” in favor of this offer.

TerraClassicUSD is trading at $0.01201 at the time of writing. DO Kwon has released an airdrop to revive the crashed Terra. However, this move was also aimed at providing assistance to aggrieved investors. Meanwhile, the price of the new LUNA token has lost 80% since its launch. It trades at an average of $3.50.

Anchor has been an important part of Terra since its inception. Most of society wants this to continue. The decision regarding his future caused a serious debate among the community. Terra’s new token launch had a similar backlash.

Do Kwon raises interest rate a week before launch

A report, behind Anchor, revealed that the protocol was designed to have an original interest rate of 3.6%. However, the offer was not accepted by Terra chief Do Kwon. Anchor’s interest rate rose to 20% just a week before launch.

The report stated that they kept Terra slightly higher than the bank rate to keep them stable. However, there was not enough money left in the company to pay the interest. The interior design document by Terraform Labs showed that the rate hike was taken to attract more investors.
