According to the Santiment, the crypto community has deserted the Terra tokens over the increased volatility. However, LUNC and USTC have recorded a price surge of 107% and 320%, respectively in the last 55 hours. This jump may increase the attention among the traders soon.

Metaverse project accepts Terra LUNC

Meanwhile, a newly launched metaverse project, StarShip has announced the LUNC implementation into its ecosystem. It will be accepted as one of the forms of payment. The firm will be burning the 1.2% of the Terra Classic token received as payments. This move will certainly help in reducing the supply of the existing tokens.

It has become difficult for investors to decide whether to invest in the token or not. As the current trend suggests that prices might jump further but the recent collapse has ceased them from taking the risk.

This recent trend has helped Terra’s newly launched LUNA 2.0 to register the price surge. LUNA’s price has jumped by 15% in the last 24 hours to trade at an average price of $2.57. However, it is still down by 86% from its all time high price of $19.4.
