Gemini loaned Blackrock and Citadel 100k BTC (it appears in their loan book). They converted 25K of the BTC into UST quietly in preparation for the strike. They phoned Do Kwan at Terra Foundation when the moment was ripe and said they wanted to sell a lot of Bitcoin for UST. They informed him they didn't want to move the market because it was a significant deal and offered if he wanted to buy their massive block of BTC at a discount to the UST.

Triggering a chain reaction of forced sales in both assets The underlying issue was that Blackrock/Citadel understood Anchor, which held a lot of LUNA, was a Ponzi scheme (they offer 20%, Staking APY) and that the crash would drive additional withdrawals from Anchor that could be repaid.

Kwon also shared his thoughts on the most likely explanation for this idea's de-pegging.

Blackrock is quite literally inside the White House.
