Terra will get more stable this year

Earlier this week, the Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) secured a billion dollars in a funding round. The funding round was led by Three Arrows Capital and Jump Crypto. The latest raised funds were aimed to create a Bitcoin-denominated forex reserve for the TerraUSD (UST) stable crypto token.

Such a measure that is being taken by the LFG foundation would bolster the stability of its peg. Notably, such a move has come under severe pressure due to Anchor Protocol’s depleting reserves.
