unpegs

Removes the pins

Unpegs means to release something from a fixed position or value.

Literally, to remove a peg holding something in place.

More commonly, it describes ending a fixed relationship between currencies or prices: The central bank unpegged the franc from the euro.

When a currency unpegs, it floats freely against others, often causing dramatic market shifts.
