The collapse of Terra forced cryptocurrency investors to ask questions they never thought possible: Will TerraUSD (UST) or Terra (LUNA) reach $ 1.00 first? The scope of this question gives a sobering reminder of how quickly things can change in cryptography. While Do Kwon, founder of Terraform Labs, is still provocative, many in the industry are starting to distance themselves from the protocols they thought were of real use to stablecoins and Bitcoin (BTC).

The risk of infection from Terra’s obvious collapse could take months or even years to fully measure, but it looks like cryptic winters are getting louder. Fortunately, blockchain projects are booted with tens of billions of dollars. They will continue to build. Can you wait a little longer to realize your thesis on investing in digital assets?

Celsius Network denies rumors of significant losses due to market instability

The fallout from the UST / LUNA madness cast a negative light on the Celsius Network, a cryptocurrency-rich platform that was reportedly “eliminated” due to the events of the last 72 hours. But nothing could be further from the truth, Celsius’ leadership confirmed on Wednesday.

CEO Alex Mashinsky also tried to correct the story.

Michael Saylor calms investors after slumping market hurt MSTR, BTC

As Bitcoin fell below $ 30,000 – and the average BTC cost base of MicroStrategy – CEO Michael Saylor assured investors that his cryptocurrency-heavy business intelligence firm was not in any danger of being marginal. Saylor said it would take the Bitcoin price drop below $ 3,600 before the company would have to provide other collateral. Crypto Twitter has already accused Saylor of secretly selling part of its BTC repositories. That’s not true and neither is rumor that MicroStrategy is going bankrupt due to its Bitcoin reserves.
