Written by: Cosmic Wave Naruto, Deep Tide TechFlow
In May 2022, $40 billion evaporated within 72 hours.
It was the most devastating crash in the history of cryptocurrency. Once hailed as the "crown jewel of algorithmic stablecoins," UST plummeted from $1 to worthless paper within days; Luna, which had a market cap of nearly $40 billion, fell from a high of $116 to nearly zero.

The official explanation came quickly: the algorithm was flawed, Do Kwon lied, and the market naturally died. Most people accepted this answer, attributing the catastrophe to "another lesson in the crypto world," and then moved on.
