Terra adds $100M worth of AVAX to its UST reserve

The nonprofit behind Terra, the blockchain protocol underpinned by a suite of decentralized stablecoins, Luna Foundation Guard (LFG), is not just buying up Bitcoin for its stablecoin reserve. It has announced the addition of $100 million in Avalanche’s native token (AVAX) to the TerraUSD or UST reserve.

Terra partners with Avalanche

As per the recent announcement by TerraUSD, it has partnered with Avalanche for the cooperation of the two ecosystems in the development of a new game subnet.

The move follows the LFG’s recent Bitcoin purchase worth $1 billion by selling LUNA tokens to Three Arrows Capital and Jump Crypto. LFG — founded by Terra co-creator Do Kwon and Terraform Labs head of research Nicholas Platias — aims to create a reserve that helps its stablecoins maintain their pegs to fiat currencies. The partnership makes AVAX the first major cryptocurrency beside Bitcoin to be added to the UST reserve.

“By diversifying the base of non-correlated assets to major assets like BTC and AVAX, the UST Reserve offers a more robust asset pool to defend against volatility and alleviate pressure on the Terra protocol’s open market arbitrage incentives,” Platias said in a press release.

Unique algorithm

The tokenomic structure of Terra is unique, which works in tandem with Terra’s algorithmic stablecoins. Interestingly, when a person mints TerraUSD (UST), they burn an equivalent value of LUNA and vice versa, which implies that if the value of the stablecoin slips, people can purchase it for a lower value but still exchange it for LUNA at the pegged rate. 

While UST never failed to maintain its pegs through arbitrage, it is not guaranteed that it never will. Recently, Waves Chain, which saw its TVL rising to new highs, witnessed its algorithmic stablecoin, Neutrino losing its peg.

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.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
