A team of researchers from Queen Mary University of London have shed light on the hidden patterns that contributed to the devastating collapse of the TerraUSD stablecoin and its associated cryptocurrency, LUNA, valued at around $3.5 billion. The investigation utilized advanced mathematical techniques and cutting-edge software, revealing suspicious trading activities that point to a coordinated attack on the ecosystem. analysis by researchers led by Dr. Richard Clegg revealed that the TerraUSD’s collapse was driven by a series of deliberate large-scale trades targeting the system. This strategy, known as “shorting,” involved traders betting against the stability of the stablecoin, ultimately destabilizing it and triggering the crash.
