TerraClassicUSD (USTC) was originally launched as an algorithmic stablecoin within the Terra ecosystem, designed to maintain a peg to the US dollar through an automated market-Module mechanism with LUNA (now LUNC). However, following the collapse of the Terra ecosystem in May 2022, the core stabilizing mechanism was disabled, and USTC lost its peg to the US dollar. Since then, USTC has been a freely traded digital asset, with its price determined purely by market supply and demand. It no longer functions as a stablecoin, nor does it have an active peg-maintenance mechanism.
- Macro context: USTC is part of the tokenized money market, which represents only ~0.283% of global M2 money supply today.
