According to Gate News Bot, on December 09, citing CoinMarketCap data, as of press time, USTC (TerraClassicUSD) is trading at $0.01, up 19.64% in the past 24 hours. Its current market capitalization is around $56 million, an increase of $9.2 million from yesterday.
USTC (TerraClassicUSD) is a token asset within the Terra Classic blockchain ecosystem, operating on an open-source decentralized blockchain built with Tendermint consensus and Cosmos-SDK. The chain is maintained by a decentralized set of validators and boasts one of the most active grassroots communities in the crypto space.
USTC was originally introduced in the Terra ecosystem as an algorithmic stable asset, designed to mirror the US dollar by balancing LUNA (now LUNC) and supply through an on-chain market module. During the crash in May 2022, after the stability mechanism failed, the US dollar peg was lost and USTC became a freely traded token, with its price now entirely fluctuating according to market demand. Today, USTC is considered a volatile digital asset but still plays an important role in the Terra Classic network—providing liquidity for DeFi pools, paying gas fees, and serving as a trading pair on CEXs and DEXs.
USTC is now listed for trading on major exchanges such as Gate. Users can manage and trade USTC assets through a variety of wallets, including Terra Station, Keplr, and Trust Wallet.

Citigroup lowers its 12-month target prices for Bitcoin and Ethereum, indicating that its medium-term outlook for the crypto market has turned cautious, mainly because progress on U.S. crypto-asset legislation has been slow. Its Bitcoin target is reduced from $143,000 to $112,000, and its Ethereum target is lowered to $3,175. Although there is still room for upside in the future, the lack of new policy catalysts means prices could trade within a range in the short term. Citigroup is even more cautious in its assessment of Ethereum, saying it is more heavily influenced by on-chain activity.
