Terra Classic (LUNC) and LUNA Price Pump and Dump

Terra Classic (LUNC) price skyrocketed by almost 37,000% since the Terra-LUNA crash and hit a high of $0.000588. The LUNC price rally was backed by the Terra community, pushing the daily trading volume to jump over $3.5 billion.

Most of the rally came in September as the LUNC price jumped from $0.00016 to $0.00058 due to burning, staking, project building, ecosystem education, and governance activities.

In addition, the Terra community and TFL have passed the 1.2% tax burn proposal. The implementation with all changes will be done by September 20. Currently, crypto exchanges including Binance, Huobi, MEXC Global, KuCoin, Gate.io, and other small exchanges have announced support for the 1.2% tax burn.

At the time of writing, Terra Classic (LUNC) price is trading at $0.00028. The price is most likely to increase soon as the Terra community aims to hit the $0.01 short term target. The community has successfully pushed the LUNC price to hit the $0.0005 target.

After hitting the $0.0005 target on September 8, the community pushed the Terra (LUNA) price to a high of $7.06 on September 9. However, the rally faded despite a daily trading volume of over $6 billion. The Terra Classic community seems to only support LUNC in the future.

At the time of writing, Terra (LUNA) price is trading at $2.87, down over 40% in the last 24 hours. The daily trading volume has also dropped below $1.5 billion.

As per South Korean media, prosecutors will work with Interpol to extradite Do Kwon from Singapore.
