Digital asset infrastructure provider Fireblocks has dealt a blow to the Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) community by announcing the cessation of its support for the token. This decision poses challenges for the LUNC ecosystem and raises concerns about potential delistings from exchanges, with Binance being a notable case.
Impending Delisting and Reasons Cited
LUNC DAO, in a communication on August 8, unveiled Fireblocks' decision to terminate support for Terra Luna Classic (LUNC). As a result, LUNC is set to be delisted from centralized exchanges utilizing Fireblocks' custody services or other related solutions.
Fireblocks justified this move by highlighting several reasons. The unreliable public node infrastructure, the lack of centralized governance leading to disjointed decision-making about upgrades, frequent changes in transaction fee structures, and the absence of technical documentation were cited as factors.
According to Fireblocks, "We have been monitoring this network closely for more than six months now, and we realize that this chain bears a very high risk of loss of funds and overall instability."
Potential Binance Involvement
This development also casts a shadow of doubt over Binance's support for LUNC. While Fireblocks' decision has raised concerns about LUNC's delisting, community members speculate that Binance might have employed a distinct custody solution for LUNC. As the largest exchange supporting the Terra Luna Classic community, Binance's stance could play a pivotal role in the token's fate.
Community efforts are underway to engage with both Fireblocks and Binance in a bid to address the apprehension and ensure the stability of the LUNC ecosystem. Furthermore, community members have expressed their commitment by refraining from selling their LUNC or USTC tokens to demonstrate solidarity with the chain.
LUNC's Price Response and USTC's Performance
Following the news, the price of LUNC experienced a decline of over 1% in the last 24 hours and 3% over the week, currently trading at $0.000077. The trading range over the past 24 hours spans from $0.0000758 to $0.0000785.
On the other hand, USTC's price has demonstrated resilience, trading at $0.0152 with a nearly 2% increase in the last 24 hours and a notable 31% surge over the past month. Additionally, the trading volume for USTC has surged by 110% in the past 24 hours.
