Luna Foundation Guard seeks more than $1 billion to shore up UST stablecoin: sources
- The Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) is looking to raise more than $1 billion to support the Terra blockchain ecosystem.

- UST dropped as low as $0.61 on Monday amid a wider sell-off in crypto markets.
- The group is now looking to raise fresh capital from some of the industrys largest investment firms and market makers.

- LFG is also looking to lend $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin and UST to third-party trading firms.
