NAIROBI (CoinChapter.com) — Terra Luna Classic’s (LUNC) market saw heightened volatility recently, with the token’s value falling by 10% despite aggressive burn activities by the community. LUNC continued to experience withdrawals from the Shuttle Bridge past its scheduled closure date of Oct. 31, raising questions on platform oversight as the community anticipates an official response from TerraForm Labs (TFL) and node provider Allnodes regarding the delayed shutdown.
Binance Burns 1 Billion Tokens, but Price Pressure Mounts
Crypto exchange Binance’s 27th burn batch saw 1.048 billion LUNC tokens incinerated, valued at approximately $95,074. This brings the community’s total LUNC burn count to nearly 137 billion tokens since the burn strategy began. Binance’s move involved burning 50% of LUNC spot and margin trading fees collected between Sept. 30 and Oct. 30, with additional tax costs totaling 5.2 million LUNC. The burn comes on the heels of heightened community activity, with a single-hour transaction burning 49,472.28 LUNC.
