ABOUT

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io, NEAR and FTX US.

The Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) was created to build a bitcoin collateral backstop for the UST stablecoin. As UST began to lose its peg, the LFG’s BTC started to move. Firms like Elliptic were able to trace it only so far, but then no farther. It wasn’t until Monday morning the LFG officially commented, but some are still hungry for more information.
