As reported by U.Today, LUNC might witness volatility throughout the week as Unchained Podcast host Laura Shin announced that Terra founder Do Kwon will be featured on the show’s next episode.
The episode with Do Kwon is set to be released this coming Tuesday, Oct. 18, and will allow listeners to receive answers to their most pertinent questions about Terra and its collapse.
In May, the Terra ecosystem collapsed after the UST stablecoin depegged, leading to over $60 billion wiped out in losses.
