Where did all the bitcoin (BTC) go? – Terra (LUNA) reveals reserves

 


The drama surrounding the blockchain project Terra is entering the next round, as the development team behind the crashed associated cryptocurrency LUNA and the failed algorithmic stablecoin UST have now broken down exactly how the project's Bitcoin reserves were sold off in a new Twitter thread 

The responsible Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) also promises to “compensate the remaining UST users”, whereby small investors should be given preference.


As the LFG now discloses, the foundation has sold 80,081 bitcoin ( BTC ) or 99.61% of its bitcoin reserves in the past few days . It “sold 33,206 BTC for 1,164,018,521 UST” and converted another 47,188 BTC to TerraUSD (UST) in a direct swap with a third party. So there are now 313 BTC left.


Interestingly, LFG has not yet sold any reserves in the form of Binance Coin ( BNB ) and Avalanche ( AVAX ) cryptocurrencies, of which there are 40,000 and 2,000,000 currency units, respectively.


The chart below shows the current composition of LFG assets:



The reason for the massive sales is the attempt to stabilize the company's own stablecoin, which is the origin of the debacle surrounding the Terra project with its decoupling from the US dollar, through purchases. The fewer currency units in circulation, the more the course moves back in the direction of the targeted USD 1, at least that is the hope


It is doubtful whether this connection can be restored and whether long-term success of the algorithmic stablecoin can be achieved .


As a result of the monetary policy measures taken, the reserves of the LFG are now composed as follows:

Crypto investors who had committed the associated Terra cryptocurrency LUNA in staking should have their funds paid out within the next 20 days. However, those funds are now arguably almost worthless as the LUNA price has fallen more than 99% from the record high and is currently trading at around $0.0002.


The former rising star of the crypto industry, who now boasts an ecosystem worth US$ 50 billion, now only has a measly US$ 82 million in his reserve, which is why the crypto community is only stunned by the implosion of the project commented .

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
