Breaking: Binance Burns 1.4 Billion Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) Tokens

by

As a long-term crypto investor with experience in following the Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) ecosystem, I’m both encouraged and concerned by the recent developments. The fact that Binance has burned over 57 billion LUNC tokens, accounting for nearly half of the total community burn, is a positive sign. This demonstrates their commitment to supporting the project and reducing the overall supply, which could potentially lead to price appreciation in the long run.

Binance, the biggest cryptocurrency exchange globally, torched approximately 1.4 billion Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) tokens during its 21st token burn event on Wednesday. As a result of this latest burn, the total amount of LUNC tokens eliminated by Binance now exceeds 57 billion. The estimated LUNC burn volume aligned with CoinGape’s projections of 1 to 1.5 billion tokens.

In addition, the Terraspace community, led by Terra Luna Classic, has burned a grand total of more than 112 billion LUNC tokens. Since 2022, Binance has remained a committed supporter, facilitating this effort through its monthly mechanism for burning LUNC tokens.

Binance’s Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) Burn Declines to 1.4 Billion

Binance, the leading crypto exchange, transferred approximately 4.17 billion Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) tokens to the destruction address on May 1st, according to the recorded LUNC burn transaction. Binance represents nearly half (52%) of the total amount of LUNC tokens burned by the community.

As an analyst, I’ve observed that during the timeframe between March 31st and April 29th, Binance’s LUNC burn mechanism made a substantial impact by incinerating a noteworthy quantity of trading fees. To be more precise, approximately 57.66 billion Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) tokens have been eliminated from the circulation as a result of this burning process on Binance’s LUNC spot and margin trading pairs.

The substantial decrease in LUNC trading activity, with an average of only $30 million daily in April, contributed to the overall decline in trading volumes. In contrast, March witnessed impressive trading volumes exceeding $100 million per day and significant price gains pushing LUNC above $0.0002. Unfortunately, the market-wide crypto price drop led to a steep decline in LUNC prices to $0.0001, resulting in a reduced market capitalization of less than $600 million compared to over $1 billion in March.

As a researcher, I’d rephrase that sentence as follows: In the 20th LUNC burn event, I observed that Binance burned a total of 4.17 billion Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) tokens. This was achieved by converting 4.17 billion worth of trading fees from LUNC spot and margin trading pairs into tokens, which amounted to approximately $722,630. Notably, these transactions were facilitated due to the substantial surge in trading volumes during March.
