What’s new? The two companies behind the development of the Terra blockchain, Terraform Labs (TFL) and the Luna Foundation Guard (LFG), announced the acquisition of the Avalanche Foundation’s tokens (AVAX) for a total of $200 million. This purchase should strengthen Terra UST’s stablecoin, which has a market capitalization of $16,7 billion (as of April 8, 2022).
What do the company’s representatives say? The head of Terraform Labs, Do Kwon, stated that LFG chose AVAX for its UST reserves because of the steady growth of the blockchain ecosystem.
“Avalanche is still a growing ecosystem…a lot of it is fueled by loyalty to the AVAX token,” Kwon claims.
Earlier, the developers of the NEAR Protocol blockchain announced the release of its own stablecoin, which can replace Terra UST.
