Terra to Get More Stability this Year
In the past week, the LUNA Foundation Guard was able to secure one billion dollars in funding rounds. Jump Crypto and Three Arrows Capital were the leaders of the funding rounds.
The aim of the latest fundraising was to create a forex reserve that will be denominated in Bitcoin for the TerraUSD stable cryptocurrency.
It is the prediction of analysts that taking such measures that have been taken by the LUNA Foundation Guard would boost its stability with its peg. However, the movement has come under scrutiny and pressure as a result of Anchor Protocols known to deplete reserves.
