Terra Luna Classic And USTC Prices Rise

Terra Luna Classic emerged as a community-managed chain in the aftermath of the 2022 Terra-LUNA crisis. Earlier, the Terra classic community voted to burn a whopping 800 million USTC tokens, amounting to 9% of the total supply. The decision comes subsequently as an effort to revive the Terra Luna (LUNC) project.

The proposal encompassed blacklisting the Ozone protocol wallet, containing 800 USTC, concerning freezing assets rather than destroying them without authorization. The aftermath revolving around this proposal resulted in the majority of the community voting in favor of it.
