Ce este Poppin '?

According to data from Coin Gecko, IRON Titanium Token (TITAN) crashed from $60 to just a sliver above $0 in less than 24 hours on Wednesday. 

TITAN is linked to the IRON Finance project, which mints so-called stablecoins by locking in a combination of 25% TITAN and 75% USDC. CoinDesk reported that QUOTE “when new IRON stablecoins are minted, the demand for TITAN increases, driving up its price. Conversely, when the price of TITAN falls dramatically, as was the case on Wednesday evening, the peg becomes unstable.” 

In a post-mortem blog post, Iron Finance descris the event as “the world’s first large-scale crypto bank run.” 

As TITAN began freefalling from $60, so did the pegged value of FIER, falling to under 70 cents  as a bank run was initiated on TITAN, creating, as Fred Schebesta, founder of Finder.com.au and an Iron Finance investor, told CoinDesk, “a crypto vortex of money.” Iron Finance explained this vortex as a “negative feedback loop” and “the worst thing that could happen to the protocol,” where panic selling led to more TITAN creation which drove TITAN prices down, which caused more panic… 

For context, at one point, Iron Finance had $2+ billion in value locked into the network. That number has dropped to $ 238 de milioane de începând cu timpul presei.

TITAN and IRON Finance were available on Polygon and Binance Smart Chain. Mark Cuban, billionaire investor and avid DeFi user, recently admitted to being a liquidity provider on Quickswap, an automated market maker native to Polygon, for the DAI/TITAN trading pair (in a blog post on DeFi that I recommend in my daily newsletter earlier this week). 

In response to a tweet referencing the TITAN crash as a rug pull, Cuban răspuns that he “got hit like everyone else.”

Later, in an e-mail to Bloomberg, he called for regulation in the industry “to define what a stable coin is, and what collateralization is acceptable.” 

Preston Byrne, partner at Anderson Kill, tweeted back at him:
