The price of Terra (LUNA) has soared 9% over the past 24 hours, outperforming the rest of the cryptocurrency market.

Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s largest cryptocurrency, is also in the green after reclaiming the $40,000, but it is only up by a mere 0.83%. Earlier today, the flagship cryptocurrency slipped below the $39,000 level, reaching its lowest price point in more than a month.

As reported by U.Today, TerraUSD (UST), the most popular algorithmic stablecoin within the Terra ecosystem, recently surpassed Binance USD (BUSD) by market capitalization. It is now the third-biggest stablecoin, training behind Tether (UST) and USD Coin (USDC).
Despite underperforming big time in January, LUNA went on a massive rally in February because of the creation of a Bitcoin-denominated stablecoin reserve by the Luna Foundation Guard (LFG).
The LFG’s total reserve balance currently stands at $2.41 billion, with Bitcoin accounting for 69.3%.
