Terra Luna Classic Burn Hits 85 Billion Milestone, LUNC & USTC Prices Recover

Published by

The Terra Luna Classic community has burned 85 billion LUNC since May 18, 2022. This is another milestone in the community’s efforts to reduce the circulating supply of LUNC. The world’s largest crypto exchange Binance has contributed almost 43.6 billion LUNC to the total burn, contributing over 51% to the total LUNC burned until now.

LUNC token circulating supply is 5.83 trillion and the total supply is 6.82 trillion LUNC. However, the community still needs to increase utility to increase the LUNC burn rate.

Total LUNC Burn Hits 85 Billion Milestone

Terra Luna Classic is managed by community-approved developers, as well as trusted validators and members after Do Kwon separated the chain from TFL.

Terra Luna Classic burn campaign has reached the 85 billion LUNC milestone as crypto exchanges, validators, projects, and members burn LUNC by sending it to the burn address. The community burns on average 200 million LUNC per week, with Binance sending billions to the burn address every month.

Binance burned almost 4 billion Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) tokens in the 16th batch of the LUNC burn on Dec 1. The total LUNC burned by the crypto exchange to date has reached 43.6 billion.

The massive burn came amid an increase in LUNC spot and margin trading volumes after Binance and other exchanges launched USTC perpetual contracts and listed new USTC and LUNC pairs.
