Bitcoin (BTC) Crash<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A cryptocurrency that advertised itself as a reliable medium of exchange has gone bankrupt. Since Monday, a drop in cryptocurrency values has wiped away more than $300 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin's price dropped to its lowest level since 2020. The value of <a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/coinbase-trading-volume-in-q2-will-be-poorer-than-q1.html\">Coinbase<\/a>, a big bitcoin exchange plummeted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week, the crypto world fell into a complete breakdown, illustrating visually the perils of the experimental and unregulated digital currency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even as celebrities like Kim Kardashian and tech billionaires like <a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/elon-musk-temporarily-halts-twitter-deal.html\">Elon Musk<\/a> tout crypto, the increasing falls of virtual currencies like Bitcoin and Ether indicate that two years of financial gains can vanish in an instant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fear triggered the worst cryptocurrency reset since Bitcoin fell by 80% in 2018. However, because more people and institutions own the currencies this time, lowering prices has a larger impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some traders compared the worry and fear to the commencement of the 2008 financial crisis, as critics suggested the collapse was long overdue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bitcoin-recorded-weekly-fall-for-sixth-week\">Bitcoin Recorded Weekly Fall For Sixth Week<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week\u2019s negative price movements resulted in bitcoin\u2019s weekly closing falling for the sixth week in a row, a first for the asset in nearly eight years. The last seven days, though, have been considerably more brutal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The worst trading day was May 12, when&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/bitcoin-btc-drops-to-near-28k-minutes-following-u-s-inflation.html\">Bitcoin<\/a>&nbsp;fell from just over $30,000 to $25,300, its lowest price since late December 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite rebounding quickly and regaining thousands of dollars in a matter of days, the cryptocurrency ended the weekly candle lower than the previous one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With seven successive candles in the red, it had created its longest bearish weekly stretch (on Bitstamp).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/spai\/w_763+q_lossless+ret_img+to_webp\/https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/BTCUSD-15.png\" alt=\" BTCUSD.

Just over a month ago, LUNA was trading at $119.18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the fact that the circulating supply of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/terraform-labs-proposes-emergency-measures-support-luna-and-ust.html\">LUNA<\/a>\u00a0has now reached 6.5 billion tokens, the UST stablecoin has been rendered virtually worthless, trading at only $0.18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-behind-luna-fall-in-price\">What Is Behind LUNA Fall In Price?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason for LUNA\u2019s free fall is that it was paired with UST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/terraform-labs-proposes-emergency-measures-support-luna-and-ust.html\">UST<\/a>\u00a0is a stablecoin based on an algorithm. Unlike stablecoins like USDC and USDT, which are backed by real-world assets, algorithmic\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/secs-peirce-says-stablecoins-regulations-must-embrace-trial-and-error.html\">stablecoins<\/a>\u00a0are not. Instead, this type of stablecoin is run by smart contracts that run themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coinscreed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-77.png?resize=891%2C518&ssl=1\" alt=\"Crypto Crash: What You Need To Know \" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With this arbitrage between the stablecoin and LUNA, there was pressure to sell LUNA, which made the token crash happen faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Terra token is designed to help stabilize UST at its dollar peg with a \u201cmint-and-burn\u201d mechanism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users could swap $1 worth of LUNA for UST, and vice versa. Each time Terra\u2019s token is swapped for the algorithm stablecoin, that LUNA is also burned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, though, this mechanism was put under a lot of pressure, and UST\u2019s dollar peg began to slip quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-stablecoins\">What Are Stablecoins?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/lightning-labs-secures-70-million-funding-to-add-stablecoins-transactions.html\">Stablecoins<\/a> are digital assets whose value is linked to the value of another currency, commodity, or financial instrument. A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency that helps to keep its value consistent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin and Ethereum, for example, lost a significant chunk of value last week. The coins were supposed to be saved with stablecoins. Everything, however, went wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stablecoins are designed to be an alternative to the excessive volatility of the most popular cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin (BTC), which has made such investments unsuitable for widespread use in transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-failed-attempt\">A Failed Attempt <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any of the Stablecoins are supposed to hold their value over time. Fiat currencies such as the US dollar, gold, and even other cryptocurrencies back them up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The demise of Bitcoin had a significant impact on Terra and <a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/terrausd-stablecoin-market-cap-reaches-15-billion-for-the-first-time.html\">TerraUSD<\/a>. Terra's functioning is to blame for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terra (LUNA) and TerraUSD (UST) are the Terra network's native tokens. TerraUSD uses algorithms to keep its peg to the US dollar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, in order to mint UST, one must burn the same number of <a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/binance-resumes-luna-ust-trading.html\">LUNA<\/a> in dollars. It operates in the opposite direction as well. This is how the protocol keeps the UST price stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As reserve backers, many stablecoins are used. Terra USD, the fourth-largest of them, fell from $1 to 30 cents last week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although their purpose is apparent, Stablecoins failed when no one expected them to. Stablecoins should have maintained strong during the fall, according to experts, putting the asset class back into focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-cryptocurrencies-that-stood-out-in-recent-crypto-crash\">2 Cryptocurrencies That Stood Out In Recent Crypto Crash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"h-unsurprisingly-both-are-stablecoins\">Unsurprisingly, both are Stablecoins<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-usd-coin\">1.

This means that the stablecoin can be redeemed in US dollars for one dollar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also helps that the business behind USD Coin, Circle, a global financial technology firm, strives for transparency. Circle has money-transfer licenses in 46 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monthly attestation reports, prepared by accounting firm Grant Thornton, detail the reserve amounts that back up USD Coin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visa, the world's largest payment processor, has chosen USD Coin as the first cryptocurrency to be approved as a settlement alternative. This decision by Visa, which was announced in March 2021, gives USD Coin even more credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-binance-usd\">2. Binance USD<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You won't be surprised to learn that another popular stablecoin scarcely moved throughout the crypto crisis. While other digital tokens were falling, Binance USD (BUSD -0.05%) remained stable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a market cap of about $17.8 billion, it is the world's tenth-largest cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Binance USD, like USD Coin, is backed entirely by US dollars. The stablecoin's official website even refers to it as &#8220;digitized [sic] US dollars.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Binance USD was created in 2019 by <a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/binance-ceo-cz-sets-to-support-terra-community.html\">Binance<\/a>, a large cryptocurrency exchange, and Paxos, a financial technology firm focused on blockchain solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The New York State Department of Financial Services has approved the stablecoin. Paxos makes monthly attestation reports for Binance USD available online, which are generated by accounting firm Withum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Binance USD can be traded on Binance's exchange, as expected. The stablecoin is, nevertheless, supported by over 20 different cryptocurrency exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-profit-from-possessing-usd-coin-binance-usd\">How To Make Profit From Possessing USD Coin, Binance USD<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You wouldn't have taken the beating that practically every other cryptocurrency has endured in recent days if you held USD Coin or Binance USD. However, simply possessing stablecoins would not have resulted in any profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a way to profit by staking both cryptocurrencies. Staking entails pledging your tokens to the underlying blockchain to support transaction completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Annual rewards for staking USD Coin are currently as high as 12%. Staking Binance USD might yield you up to 13.3 percent.

Top altcoins like Terra can lose value overnight and struggle to exist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The notion behind decentralized algorithm stablecoins like TerraUSD is intriguing, but it requires a stronger strategy.
