In the grand theater of cryptocurrency, the TerraUSD token finds itself in a curious limbo, as the Terra Luna Community, with all the seriousness of a cat contemplating a laser pointer, votes to reclassify it and bestow upon it a new name.
On this fateful Tuesday, TerraUSD (USTC) is trading at a mere $0.01266, a staggering 45% drop from its lofty heights earlier this year. Oh, how the mighty have fallen! Its market cap now sits at a modest $70 million, a sum that might buy you a decent yacht, but not much else in the crypto world.
The Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) community is engaged in a riveting debate over a proposal to transform USTC from a stablecoin into a Universal Standard Token—or perhaps a meme coin, because why not? After all, who needs stability when you can have memes? 😂
This proposal is a candid acknowledgment that USTC has long abandoned its stablecoin duties, with the prospect of regaining its $1 peg looking as likely as finding a unicorn in your backyard. With USTC languishing at $0.01260, it would need to soar by over 7,300% to reunite with the U.S. dollar. Good luck with that!
The aim of this vote? To preserve exchange listings and sidestep those pesky regulatory restrictions. Because nothing says “trustworthy investment” like dodging regulations, right?
Binance, the heavyweight champion of LUNC supporters, has already declared its intention to delist USTC later this month. Other exchanges might follow suit, because who wouldn’t want to jump on the bandwagon of a sinking ship?
Reclassifying USTC would also free it from the shackles of stablecoin regulations, making compliance as easy as pie—if pie were made of digital currency and existential dread.
Additionally, the proposal seeks to rename USTC from TerraUSD to Universal Standard Token Classic, while keeping the ticker symbol USTC. Because if you can’t be stable, at least be classic!
TerraUSD emerged from the ashes of the Terra collapse in 2022, which resulted in a staggering $40 billion loss. The original TerraUST or UST was an algorithmic stablecoin that tried to maintain its $1 peg through a delicate dance of supply and demand, managed by the ever-reliable arbitrage. It also had a mint-and-burn relationship with Luna, which sounds romantic until you realize it’s just finance.
USTC price technical analysis
USTC’s price took a nosedive, hitting rock bottom at $0.0085 earlier this year. It then managed to crawl back to $0.0125, just shy of the key resistance at $0.01387. This level is significant, marking the lowest swing in the dramatic months of April, July, and August last year.
USTC has formed a small double-bottom pattern at $0.010, with a neckline at $0.02193, its highest level this month. A double-bottom is one of the most bullish reversal signs in the market—if only it could reverse its fortunes as easily!
Thus, USTC could potentially bounce back and retest the key resistance at $0.03140, its highest level in 2024, which is about 145% above the current price. However, should it drop below the support at $0.0085, the bullish outlook would be as dead as a doornail. 🥴
