The Avalanche Foundation has announced its intention to buy back 1.97 million AVAX tokens that were previously sold to Terra’s Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) in 2022. This step is being taken to support the blockchain and reduce risks associated with potential token sales during the bankruptcy of Terraform Labs.

Reasons for AVAX Token Buyback

In 2022, the collapse of the Terra blockchain led to significant losses in the crypto world. LFG bought the AVAX tokens as reserves for its algorithmic stablecoin USTC. After USTC's value dropped to $0.006, the Avalanche Foundation decided to buy back the tokens at a 42% lower price to prevent potential risks associated with their sale during Terraform Labs’ bankruptcy.

Impact on Avalanche and AVAX Prices

Purchasing back the tokens for $45.5 million, while they are valued at $57.4 million on the open market, allows the foundation to save almost $12 million. This shows Avalanche's commitment to long-term development and stability, despite market uncertainties. Although LFG’s bankruptcy and court approval of the buyback evoke some concerns, the buyback is expected to bolster confidence in Avalanche, possibly affecting AVAX prices positively in the future.
