MMM Episode 65: TerraUSD-LUNA Meltdown and Its Broader Implications by Monday Morning Minutes published on 2022-05-14T15:49:21Z After reviewing another wild market week for May 9-13 (2:05) and the April consumer and producer price indexes (8:49), Jeff Mayberry and Samuel Lau examine the bloodbath in the algorithmic stablecoin pair TerraUSD-LUNA (14:15), then ponder the unknowns of other stablecoins, including Tether and USD Coin, (16:30) and the risks to the broader financial system (26:43).
