Back to collectionUST’s Plunge Reaches a Testing Partner
After UST slid toward USD 0.97 the day before, the community was no longer arguing only about a brief price move. UST fell into the USD 0.60 range at its intraday low. What had sounded yesterday like a dispute about a stablecoin now touched a partner’s ability to continue.

After UST slid toward USD 0.97 the day before, the community was no longer arguing only about a brief price move. It was asking how teams that relied on UST could keep working. Star Harbor Interactive, a studio that regularly joined the team’s multiplayer tests, was a particular concern: it held 40% of its treasury in UST.
UST fell into the USD 0.60 range at its intraday low. LUNA halved and then halved again in a single day, while BTC briefly slipped below USD 30,000. Fear spread across the market. Star Harbor Interactive said nothing in the group all day. Someone wanted to ask whether the test would still happen; a studio teammate suggested giving its people room and first identifying which parts of their own preparations depended on them.
What had sounded yesterday like a dispute about a stablecoin now touched a partner’s ability to continue. Star Harbor Interactive had not explained its position, and there was no new plan for the multiplayer test. The studio could only clarify its own dependencies and discuss the next step when the partner was ready.
