Crypto panic the same risk as a bank run: Yellen
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen gave the US government’s most forceful response yet to the meltdown of TerraUSD, saying that the crypto stablecoin’s woes underscore the risks associated with the asset class.
Ms Yellen said on Thursday (Friday AEST) that Terra’s spectacular tumble shows the dangers of tokens that purport to be pegged to the US dollar. She called for new regulations and said that Treasury was working on a report about their dangers.
