Terra has been around since 2018, and they already have millions of users, and they are working on several ambitious projects. First, however, those who are thinking about investing in Terra should know a few things.
Terra mainly focuses on stable coins. Terra LUNA is the token that helps balance out the price of stable coins. LUNA tokens are also used in the staking and governance of the project. It is very popular in South Korea.
Terra is offering 20% interest on UST. The blockchain ranks top 5 in terms of revenue. Buying Terra can be challenging because only a few platforms are listing Terra. Nevertheless, Terra’s price has picked up a decent momentum in 2021 – a reported growth of LUNA by 2000%.
Terra has a whole lot of stable coins like Terra U.S. Dollar (UST), Euro (EUT), Canadian Dollar (CAT), and Japanese Yen (JPY).
Since the stable coins are doing many tasks like unregulated banks, regulators are trying to pick up on these tokens to establish control over them.
Terra has something called the “Chai payment system” with 2 million and more users. Reportedly, Terra stablecoins might achieve a 20% market share by 2025.
Stablecoin adoption is booming. There are several reasons to it. The need for USD-denominated liquidity is one of them. In addition, global users are interested in a price-stable cryptographic token. This also is expected to lead to mass adoption of DeFi Applications.
Stable coins are more than what appears to be fiat currencies on the blockchain. Stable coins have diverse characteristics. Traditional financial infrastructure is where currencies operate on fragmented systems packed in diverse regulatory frameworks, ideologies, and policies, but stablecoins operate on a shared infrastructure blockchain. Thus, providing a foundation to build DeFi.
A stable peg is an excellent defense against volatility, whether custodial or non-custodial, providing for a high-level model that sustains the parity between assets and outstanding liabilities. Stablecoins make many trade-offs to provide for price stability, whether by over-collateralized debt positions or by algorithmic redemption mechanisms.
The LUNA community is strong. They understand, mindshare, and have strong hands that will make them dominant in the long-term.
Recently, the on-chain proposal to migrate the Terra network to the Columbus-5 mainnet has officially passed with 99.99% of votes signaling “Yes.”
Terra are evolving from regular users of the protocol to full ecosystem partners and validators. Many huge products getting being built.
