Re: Are decentralized stablecoins a failed experiment?

For long, decentralized stablecoins have claimed to maintain their peg backed by either collaterized assets or algorithms. It's this point in time where a so-called decentralized stablecoin named "TerraUSD" lost its peg with no point for recovery within the short term. This is not the first time a decentralized stablecoin loses its peg, as a similar situation happened with NuBits (USNBT) some time ago. Even now, another decentralized stablecoin called "Neutrino USD" (USDN) lost it's 1:1 peg with the US Dollar.

With failed promises to maintain stability, does this means decentralized stablecoins are a failed experiment? If not, why? Do you think there's still room for improvement? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Smiley

not completely fail. The problem with UST and other stablecoins losing peg is that they don't have a 1:1 reserve. if they had it in the first place the selloff issue resulting in the loss of the peg would never have happened. maybe with this problem the stablecoin ecosystem can be better.
