Jump noted that series of significant withdrawals and swaps in a UST liquidity pool triggered the depegging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terra's Anchor Protocol, which saw a flurry of withdrawals when UST first began depegging, was also a major source of outflows. Jump referenced on-chain data in the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-terra-crash-was-driven-largely-by-anchor-protocol\"><strong>Terra crash was driven largely by Anchor Protocol<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jump cited a recent report from on-chain analytics firm Nansen, which identified seven main wallets as the source of Anchor's outflows. But these seven were part of a larger trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wallets with more than $1 million in Anchor deposits, which Jump referred to as &#8220;large&#8221; depositors , reduced their holdings on the platform by more than 40% during the initial depegging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Small depositors, on the other hand, who have less than $10,000 in their Anchor wallets, increased their holdings on the platform during this time. However, because they only accounted for a fraction of overall liquidity, this demand had minimal impact on LUNA and UST prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that 70% of UST liquidity was locked into the platform. Anchor Protocol was essentially the ground zero of the Terra crash. The platform's imbalance between depositors and borrowers also played a role in its eventual downfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Poor crypto perception and high rate played a part in crash<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Terra's outflows were exacerbated by the poor crypto sentiment. The depegging occurred following a market crash triggered by a Federal Reserve rate hike. <a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/bitcoin-btc-drops-to-near-28k-minutes-following-u-s-inflation.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Strong inflation data in the United States<\/a> also contributed to the drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terra's crash resulted in the loss of over $30 billion of investor funds in a matter of days. It has sparked outrage from regulators all over the world, and it is expected to lead to stricter crypto regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Terra has since launched a new blockchain to help restore some value. It appears that the project has lost the majority of its market trust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A report has revealed that several major Terra investors withdrew their holdings while retail investors continued to accumulate amid the crash.
