In late Feb. 2022, the LUNA token experienced a sharp increase in value as $1 billion in bitcoin was added to the reserve.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The burning of LUNA leads to the creation of more UST. The stablecoin is pegged on a 1:1 basis to the U.S. dollar. The ratio is maintained through the alteration of UST and LUNA supplies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The additions to the reserve will help in the event of volatility in the market. It acts as a reserve in the same way that the holding of foreign reserves by central banks do.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Terraform Labs\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/terra-luna-gains-23-5-in-24hrs-thanks-to-defi-and-staking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LUNA token<\/a> has been doing well in the market, but it\u2019s not all going perfect. The SEC has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/534537134\/Terraform-v-SEC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">issued a subpoena<\/a> to the firm and CEO Do Kwon, which was done in public at a conference in New York. The order had to do with potential securities violations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Stablecoin Market, One To Watch for Regulation<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Amid all the subpoena issuances and general stablecoin development, regulators are beginning to take greater note of the stablecoin market. The fear is that they might in some way impinge on the sovereignty of national currencies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The United States, in particular, is looking at stablecoin regulation. It will be a challenging task to create broad regulation, but with President Biden\u2019s recent <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/biden-signs-widely-anticipated-executive-order-regulating-digital-assets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">executive order<\/a>, governmental agencies may just have the power.<\/p>\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Decentralized stablecoins used to be risk-on assets during drawdowns &#8211; rotation from decentralized to centralized stablecoins due to peg risks. Stark difference now with stablecoins like UST seen as safe-havens.

As the market undergoes some heavy volatility, market investors are holding on to an increasing amount of stablecoins, so regulators may step in quicker than expected.<\/p>\r\n<p>Countries are also focusing on their Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), which see some competition from stablecoins. In any case, 2022 appears to be a year that will see a flood of regulatory actions, good or bad. Stablecoins will certainly be at the center of these changes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Terraform Labs\u2019 12 million LUNA donation will be burnt and minted into $1.2 billion UST.
