Kevin Zhou, co-founder of Galois Capital, discusses a crazy week in the world of algorithmic stablecoins that saw USDN de-peg from the dollar and Terra unveil plans to create a new liquidity pool on Curve to strengthen UST. Show highlights:
- how USDN and Waves works
- what made USD de-peg
- why Kevin thinks algorithmic stablecoins fail so often
- what Kevin thinks about backing UST with BTC
- how 4pool works in the context of Curve Finance, 3pool, UST, Frax Finance, and Redacted Cartel
- why Kevin believes Anchor is the reason UST could de-peg
- what might happen to Terra and the crypto market writ large if UST were to de-peg
- why lowering yields on Anchor could depress LUNA’s price by 8x
- how UST and LUNA redemptions work
