Hello,

What if Anchor allowed you to borrow against an LP of bLUNA / UST? This strategy has lower volatility, so it is a safer collateral type for the investor. It would also promote greater liquidity of LUNA so during a credit boom liquidity grows for LUNA. I think responsible investors could find lots of opportunities with a lower volatility strategy to borrow against.

One requirement of Anchor collaterals is that they should be generating a steady rate of yield, independent of market cycles - LP tokens doesn’t seems to fit well in this category
