Do Kwon, CEO of Terraform Labs, outlines the idea of gathering top crypto-assets according to market size in order to support Terra UST, Terra’s native stablecoin. According to Kwan, Terra will be able to expand its user base to other blockchains with UST backed with BTC.

Terra is on the way to becoming the largest Bitcoin Hodler.
The co-funder further revealed that he plans to continue stacking BTC until Satoshi, Bitcoin’s mysterious founder, is out of reach.
