At present, the price of the Luna coin is $30.97, which is down by 49%.
Few experts noted that the Market Cap of Terra UST is high than its Luna coin, which means the team does not have enough funds to back the UST stable coin.
In response to this downfall in the stablecoin, Terra founder Do Kwon tweeted and informed that they are introducing more capital in favor of the stable coin.
Deploying more capital – steady lads
