The price of bitcoin fell again on Thursday, with smaller cryptocurrencies losing much more, as the market reacted to the collapse of stablecoin UST.

BTCUSD, -2.31 percent the world's most valuable cryptocurrency, fell 5% to $26,780. The coin has lost 24% this week and over 50% since its peak in November.

An algorithmic stablecoin called TerraUSD, or UST, was designed to maintain a one-to-one peg with US dollars. In the past week, UST has fallen below 30 cents on Binance.

Algorithms back UST with another crypto — Luna. When UST trades below $1, holders have an incentive to burn it and mint Luna LUNAUSD, -89.32 percent, which has also plummeted. Luna was trading at 23 cents, down 96% in 24 hours.

Tether USTUSD, -7.25 percent, commonly known as USDT, was trading below the buck at as low as 95 cents. According to a Tether spokeswoman, the UST situation “means nothing for the centralized stablecoin market.” They are two distinct assets.

A $1 billion transaction with a third party is planned for early Thursday, Tether stated.
