Stablecoin TerraUSD (UST CURNCY) has de-pegged from USD; the implosion put pressure on Tether (USDT CURNCY). This resembled the confidence crises that precede bank runs.
The incident happened under macro headwind such as tech stock sell-off, rising benchmark interest rates and TerraUSD specific algorithm design. 
The bigger worry of de-pegging has investors to re-assess the reserve behind stablecoin in the crypto ecosystem; we expect the ripple impact will continue for some time before settling down.
