Binance Sends Over 6 Billion Terra Classic (LUNC) Tokens to Burn Address
Binance has burned nearly 6.39 billion Terra Classic (LUNC) tokens by sending them to the burn address on December 1 at 2:35 PM UTC. The transaction also shows a fee of 12.77 million LUNC. The sixth batch of LUNC trading fees burned is for the period October 30 to November 30.
