What Triggered Terra (LUNA) Resurgence?

Terra (LUNA) was triggered for a huge upward trend after the Terra team announced on Twitter that it’s working to fix issues associated with the token airdrop.

The announcement came about in response to several complaints received from Terra Classic (LUNC) holders who received fewer LUNA tokens from the airdrop than they were due.

Terra team tweeted, “Attention LUNA airdrop recipients. We are aware that some have received less LUNA from the airdrop than expected & are actively working on a solution. More information will be provided when we have gathered all of the data, so stay tuned.”

Data are now being collected to get around the issue with the airdrop distribution, according to the team of developers behind the project.

Binance LUNA Listing and Airdrop Completion Also Aided the Rally

The price of Terra (LUNA) also reacted positively to the announcement about Binance listing the new digital token and the completion of the token’s airdrop distribution to the concerned users of the trading platform.

A couple of hours ago, Binance announced that deposits of Terra (LUNA) tokens have been opened and airdrop distribution to its users is now complete.

Aside from Binance, a number of other major exchanges have also promised to support the newly launched token.

It should be noted that Binance, the largest crypto exchange by trading volume, will open withdrawals on the 1st of June 2022, at 6 AM UTC, according to the announcement.
