Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) recently completed an over-the-counter sale of LUNA–raising $1 billion from venture capital groups led by Jump Crypto and Three Arrows Capital.

Established in the Republic of Singapore, LFG is a non-profit organization that formed in January to help support the growth of the Terra ecosystem, and the sustainability and stability of its algorithmic stablecoins.

Bitcoin-denominated reserve for Terra’s biggest stablecoin will help ensure that the price of UST maintains its peg in selloff scenarios.

With a $12.25 billion market cap, Terra’s native stablecoin, UST, is currently the fourth-largest out there, and as far as decentralized stablecoins go–it ended the long lasting hegemony of DAI in December last year.

While leveraging Terra’s utility token, LUNA, the algorithmic stablecoin maintains a nearly equal value to the US dollar.

One of the crypto industry’s largest sales ever

As UST rises above its peg, LUNA is bought and burned–causing the native token’s price to appreciate. However, when UST drops below its peg, LUNA is minted and sold–driving the native token’s price down.

According to LFG, “one common criticism of algorithmic stablecoins is their reflexive nature and the hypothetical risk of a ‘bank run’ scenario where demand to sell the stable outstrips supply in a way that causes compounding price decreases in both native tokens.”

This in mind, the reserve created through the $1 billion sale will provide “an additional avenue to maintain the peg in contractionary cycles that reduces the reflexivity of the system.”

The private sale was led by Jump Crypto and Three Arrows Capital, with participation from DeFiance Capital, Republic Capital, GSR, Tribe Capital, to name a few.

With a 24-hour trading volume topping $2.3 billion, LUNA saw its price jump over 14% following the announcement.
