Inside crypto’s colossal collapse: Experts discuss what triggered $60B loss in market cap

The crypto market was back in the headlines in early May as the cryptocurrency stablecoin TerraUSD (UST) broke its peg to the U.S. dollar.

The collapse of both led to a loss of nearly $60 billion in market capitalization from the two coins.  Experts talk with UNC-s Kenan Instititue about what happened, why, and what’s next.
