You can still use null pointers in safe rust (see the link I posted which is 100% safe rust), you just can’t deference then.

Correct, which is why you'd use Option<T> instead.

I'm not sure the situation is comparable to Terra. If you can't read the Y-axis on a graph, and you only look at the last 7 days, then it looks like Tether has gone off a cliff. If you read the Y-axis you'll see it's bar
