Binance's new cryptocurrency Terra LUNA created fear, the stock market made a statement

The annual interest rate of the BFUSD token of 19.55%, which Binance announced the other day, created fear in the crypto world. While UST analogies, which is Terra LUNA's stablecoin, were made on social media, a statement came from the stock market

Every move of Binance, the world's largest stock exchange, is closely followed by investors. There are also important discussions on social media about the BFUSD token, which was announced by the exchange on November 17 and has an annual interest rate return of 19.55%.

UST, which was praised by many famous business people and entrepreneurs, was moving through LUNA to fix the price of the coin to $1. The depreciation of UST, which was tried to balance the burning and production of LUNA, another token of the ecosystem, to collapsed the entire system. Those who wanted to invest their assets and money in UST2 and earn 20 percent of income, suffered great losses and even lost their retirement savings.

Responding to criticism and fears on social media, the following statements were used in the statement made by Binance's customer service's X account:
