AVAX Price Surges 10% After Avalanche Foundation Announces Repurchase Agreement With Luna Foundation Guard (LFG)

The AVAX price has surged by a staggering 10% in the last few hours after the recent announcement by the Avalanche Foundation of a repurchase agreement

The price of AVAX has surged by a staggering 10% in the last few hours after the recent announcement by the Avalanche Foundation of a repurchase agreement with the Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) – the entity associated with Terra blockchain – to buy back all tokens sold back in 2022. This has pushed AVAX closer to $30 taking its market cap above $11.5 billion.

Avalanche Agreement With Luna Foundation

As per the latest announcement, the Avalanche Foundation has reached an agreement to repurchase all AVAX tokens sold to the Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) in April 2022. However, the deal is currently pending approval from the Bankruptcy court. The announcement has led to huge bullish momentum for the AVAX price as bulls rush to fill their bags beforehand.

Ahead of its bankruptcy back in the summer of 2022, LFG held a total of 1.97 million AVAX tokens worth a staggering $60 million. The Luna Foundation purchased AVAX as part of its reserves to boost the strength of its UST stablecoin.

This strategic decision from the Avalanche Foundation will prevent LFG from breaching the original agreement and restricting AVAX token usage. Besides, this move from Avalanche will protect the assets from the complexities of bankruptcy trustee liquidation. Earlier this year, LFG started moving its token following the Terraform Labs settlement with the US SEC.

Upon completion, the Avalanche Foundation will reclaim 1.97 million AVAX tokens, bolstering its capacity to foster growth and development within the Avalanche ecosystem.
