Not quite.

Dai is an ERC20 token on top of Ethereum. It might be more accurate to say Dai is a stablecoin coupled to MKR (MakerDAO), a governance token. Dai is over-collaterlized.

Terra is a coin with ticker LUNA, and is coupled to a stablecoin UST. As I understand, LUNA/UST was under-collateralized and could not handle what was essentially a virtual bank run.

Tether is a centralized stablecoin that is also reported to be under-collateralized, but it has bridges and industry connections to the wider crypto market which has kept it from crashing and burning so far.
