Do Kwon has advised LUNA investors to “stay strong” as the price approaches zero. Prices have plummeted since the UST stablecoin lost parity with the US dollar, hitting a new low this morning.

LUNA, UST Tumble Toward Zero

LUNA/USD is now trading at below $1

To put things in perspective, prices have dropped over 98% and are only seven days distant from a high of $88.40.

Following a brief rebound following the loss of dollar parity, UST has also drifted towards zero, reaching a low of $0.2998 earlier today.

Markets worried about a lack of communication from LUNA founder Do Kwon, who was supposed to be working on a “recovery plan,” less than 24 hours after it was trading at $0.9486.

Although some people believe in algorithmic stablecoins, it is unclear whether UST will live long enough to participate in future advancements.

Kwon just issued a more comprehensive update to the Terra community, noting:

‘I understand the last 72 hours have been extremely tough on all of you – know that I am resolved to work with every one of you to weather this crisis, and we will build our way out of this.’

The UST de-pegging scandal caused the cryptocurrency Terra to drop by almost 85%. Terraform Labs’ founder told his Twitter followers that the company will rebound.
