UST stablecoin loses dollar peg for second time in 48 hours, LUNA market cap falls below UST's

Today’s depeg comes after the Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) announced Sunday night that $1.5b of its massive bitcoin reserves would be “loaned” out to professional market makers to proactively defend UST’s dollar peg.

Monday's events were "the biggest stress test the system has ever faced," José Maria Macedo – a partner at Delphi Digital and an LFG council member who helps manage the group's reserves – told CoinDesk. But he added that the UST-LUNA market cap flip is not a cause for concern because of LFG's reserves.
