Before starting, I want to say that:
In my humble opinion, I do not trust a project that has already failed like TERRA CLASSIC.
The news about Binance's support for the Terra Classic (LUNC) network update is relevant for several reasons, although the impact depends on how the LUNC ecosystem evolves and the community's trust after the Terra collapse.
Key points about the news:
1. Binance support:
Binance continues to support the Terra Classic network, suggesting that there is still interest in keeping its community active and enhancing any possible recovery of the project. This type of support generally reinforces the legitimacy of a project in the eyes of users.
2. Network update:
Network updates are often essential to improve functionalities, solve technical issues, or introduce new features. This could mean that Terra Classic is working on an upgrade of its infrastructure to attract users or developers again.
3. Possible impact on LUNC:
• Trust: Binance is one of the largest exchanges in the world. Its backing could translate into greater trust for investors who still hold LUNC.
• Volume and adoption: Binance's support may increase trading volume and token adoption, by facilitating participation from traders and institutions.
• Speculation: This type of news can lead to a temporary increase in the price of LUNC, especially among speculative traders.
What does it mean for the Terra Classic ecosystem?
• Attempt to resurge:
Although LUNC faced a massive loss of credibility after the collapse of Terra and its stablecoin UST, this update could be a step towards rehabilitating the project and retaining interested developers.
• Community support:
If this update manages to incorporate technical improvements and the LUNC community shows commitment, it could partially reactivate the ecosystem.
• Competition:
Terra Classic still competes with other much more advanced DeFi platforms like Ethereum, Solana, or even new Layer-2s like Arbitrum, making its resurgence difficult.
Key challenges:
1. Damaged reputation:
The Terra ecosystem still faces significant distrust after the UST collapse, and many investors see LUNC as a high-risk project.
2. Sustainability of the ecosystem:
Without innovative applications or use cases, the network could fall behind compared to more solid projects in DeFi.
3. Dependence on speculators:
If LUNC fails to attract real adoption, it may rely solely on speculative interest, making its price very volatile.
What should be monitored?
• Technical details of the update:
If the update includes significant improvements (scalability, lower fees, compatibility with other ecosystems), it could attract developers and reactivate the ecosystem.
• Market reaction:
Monitor how LUNC's price responds and whether there is an increase in trading volume following the announcement.
• Future initiatives:
Does the community and the developers have solid plans to reposition Terra Classic in the market? Without a clear vision, Binance's support may have a limited impact.
In my humble opinion, I do not trust a project that has already failed.
