LFG lost almost everything to save UST depegging; here's the revelation
Amid TerraUSD (UST) and Terra (LUNA) turning into ashes, leaving questions for the leadership to answer, the non-profit organization responsible for defending the peg, Luna Foundation Guard (LFG), has disclosed its reserves.
LFG reveals how it used its reserves
According to a Twitter thread posted by the LFG, the organization held a reserve consisting of the following assets as of May 7, 2022:- 80,394 BTC
- 39,914 BNB
- 26,281,671 USDT
- 23,555,590 USDC
- 1,973,554 AVAX
- 697,344 UST
- 1,691,261 LUNA
It directly executed on-chain swaps and transferred Bitcoin to a counterparty "to enable them to enter trades with Foundation in large size and on short notice." According to the information provided by the LFG, it directly sold 26,281,671 USDT & 23,555,590 USDC for an aggregate 50,200,071 UST. It also revealed the transfer of 52,189 BTC to trade with a counterparty, net of an excess of 5,313 BTC that they have returned, for an aggregate of 1,515,689,462 UST.
Fear results in further dumping
The foundations' remark comes as the Terra community criticizes Terra's reserve funds, which were intended to belong to the "decentralized" Terra community.Notably, the price of UST fell even lower in response to Monday's Tweet, from $0.15 to $0.07, a drop of about 50%. As Kwon is only left with 313 BTC units after the heavy sell-off to defend the peg, the community displayed its fear by dumping the so-called stablecoin. It is trading around 12 cents, at the time of publication.
Terraform Labs sold another 30,000 BTC from LFG's reserves on May 12, according to LFG (TFL). As a result of the failed attempt to defend UST, LFG acknowledged that the remainder of its reserve assets, which formerly totaled over $3 billion, had nearly vanished.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
