Terra Luna Classic Burn Hits 70 Billion Milestone Ahead Major Burn By Binance

Published by

The total LUNC burned by the Terra Luna Classic community reaches 70 billion, hitting another milestone in the community’s efforts to reduce the circulating supply of LUNC since May 18, 2022. The world’s largest crypto exchange Binance has burned almost 36 billion LUNC, contributing over 50% to the total LUNC burned until now.

LUNC token circulating supply is 5.81 trillion and the total supply is 6.84 trillion LUNC. However, the community still needs to increase utility to increase the LUNC burn rate.

Total LUNC Burn Hits 70 Billion Milestone

After the May 2022 Terra-LUNA Crisis and Do Kwon separating the chain from TFL, the community took responsibility and started a burn campaign along with other features such as staking last year. Terra Luna Classic is managed by community-approved developers, as well as trusted validators and members.

Terra Luna Classic burn campaign now reaches the 70 billion LUNC milestone as crypto exchanges, validators, projects, and members burn LUNC by sending it to the burn address. The community burns on average 400 million LUNC per week, with Binance sending billions to the burn address as part of its monthly LUNC burn mechanism.

Binance burned over 2.65 billion LUNC tokens in the 11th batch of the LUNC burn mechanism on July 1, with the LUNC burned by the crypto exchange to date reaching over 35.5 billion.

The Joint L1 Task Force developer group and the Quant USTC repeg team aim to focus on reducing the LUNC and USTC circulating supply in Q3. The developers aim to repeg USTC to $1, working with exchanges for its successful completion.

Recently, the community found a new focus to burn USTC and LUNC idle in other protocols. Vegas introduced a proposal to burn 800 million USTC or sent it to the community pool from Ozone protocol.
