What’s new? Luna Foundation Guard (LFG), a non-profit organization, has moved $95 million worth of digital assets to a new wallet, explaining the need to improve the security of the assets. The organization was originally launched to support the Terra blockchain ecosystem from Do Kwon’s Terraform Labs (TFL). The project collapsed in May 2022 as the TerraUSD stablecoin and LUNA token plummeted. It caused tens of billions of dollars in losses to users around the world and prompted fraud cases by authorities and investors in several countries, including the US, South Korea, and Singapore.
