Terra Classic Sees Huge Gain As Binance Prepares to Announce Number of LUNC Burned So Far

Binance, the largest crypto exchange by trading volume, has been actively burning LUNC tokens in numbers since last week following the implementation of the 1.2% burn tax on Spot and Margin trading. And the exchange is expected to announce the amount of Terra Classic tokens destroyed over the past week.

The value of Terra Classic (LUNC) is up over 70% for the week and up over 40% for the month, retesting $0.000365 on Sunday as most cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), saw minimal gains.

Although the trend has been impressive since the burn started getting intensified, the LUNC price is still very far from the $100 level it was before the May historic crash.

However, Terra Classic (LUNC) has been recording outstanding performance in terms of trading volumes. This boost has helped the digital token to the top ten by trading volume, sending its market cap to over $2 billion.

For the newcomers, Terra Classic (LUNC) is the token of the blockchain that imploded in May, which prompted lawmakers to consider a ban on similar algorithmic stablecoins.
