Terra Making Big Moves in the Decentralized Finance Ecosystem
The Terra UST stablecoin has exploded recently. The token, which maintains its peg parity with the USD through its algorithmic design, has surpassed a $2 billion market cap, achieving this feat in just six months.
This places the stablecoin at number five in terms of market capitalization, behind Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Binance USD (BUSD), and Dai (DAI), according to Coingecko statistics.
The Terra network has also launched a popular e-commerce wallet in Asia—CHAI––to its integration of Mirror Protocol. The e-wallet creates synthetic assets that mimic real-world assets, which is a big move in the DeFi space.
In addition, its native LUNA tokens have seen an incredible surge in market cap, skyrocketing to $2.6 billion from $300 million in January.
With the financial backing of these significant investors, one can only expect that there is more to come on the blockchain, and more exciting projects will relish the opportunity to be part of its growing ecosystem.
