TerraClassicUSD/Botswanan Pula (USTC/BWP) capitalisation and volume charts
TerraClassicUSD (USTC) is a digital asset built on the Terra blockchain. It was created due to the de-pegging of TerraUSD (UST) from the US dollar on 9th May 2022. USTC is designed to provide users with a digital asset that maintains a value relative to a basket of assets, including the US Dollar and other stablecoins. It is issued and managed by Terraform Labs and provides an easy and secure way to transfer value within the Terra network.
USTC is used as a medium of exchange within the Terra network and can be used to purchase goods and services, or to send funds between users. It provides an easy and secure way to transfer value within the network and is also used to pay network fees and rewards. USTC is also used as a store of value and can be used to hedge against inflationary risks.
USTC was created by Terra, a blockchain platform that enables developers to build, deploy and operate decentralized applications. It was designed and developed by Terraform Labs, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a stable and secure digital currency for users of the Terra network. The co-founder and CEO of Terraform Labs is Kwon Do-Hyung (Korean: 권도형), more commonly known as Do Kwon.
In early May 2022, the price of Terra’s LUNA and UST tokens began to plummet, leading to the collapse of both tokens and the Terra network. The collapse was due to a number of factors, including the de-pegging of UST from the US dollar, as well as a lack of liquidity in the market and a general lack of trust in the network. This led to a rapid sell-off of both tokens, resulting in a significant drop in their value. In order to protect users, Terraform Labs had to take steps to transition users to the rebranded Terra Classic network. This included moving users’ UST tokens to the Terra Classic wallet and exchanging them for USTC tokens and providing more market liquidity. Unfortunately, the collapse of Terra’s LUNA and UST tokens had a significant impact on the network, and while steps have been taken to prevent such a situation from happening again, users should remain cautious when investing in cryptocurrencies.
