Breaking: Binance Burns 1.7 Billion Terra Luna Classic (LUNC), What’s Ahead?
Binance has burned 1.7 billion Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) tokens in the latest transaction to burn wallet on Monday. After the 23rd batch of the LUNC burn mechanism, Binance has burned nearly 62 billion LUNC to date.
Moreover, the total LUNC tokens burned by the Terra Luna Classic community has reached over 125 billion. Binance has continued supporting the community for Terra Luna Classic revival since 2022 via its monthly LUNC burn mechanism.
Binance Incinerates 1.7 Billion LUNC
The Terra Luna Classic community saw 1.7 billion Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) tokens burned by crypto exchange Binance, as per the burn transaction on July 1. The burn transaction also recorded 8.5 million LUNC in tax. Tax2Gas implementation expected this month will likely boost the burn narrative.
The 23rd batch of the LUNC burn mechanism Binance burned a significant amount of trading fees for the period between May 31 to June 29. Binance has now burned nearly 61.99 billion Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) tokens from trading fees on LUNC spot and margin trading pairs.
As a result of the latest burn by Binance, the net burn by the Terra Luna Classic community has now surpassed 125 billion LUNC. Binance accounts for over 50% of the total LUNC burned since the community took control of the chain. The reason behind the low burn amount in contrast to the community is due to fewer transactions.
In the 22nd LUNC burn mechanism, Binance burned 1.35 billion Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) tokens. The exchange burned 1.35 billion in trading fees on LUNC spot and margin trading pairs worth $170,104.
Similar to the Terra Classic price chart, the LUNA price trend shows a similar downtrend with a strong resistance trendline at play. Mimicking a similar rising channel breakdown, the Terra (LUNA) price drops by 40% in two weeks.
With the breakdown rally taking support at the $0.000070 mark with lower price rejections, the altcoin teases a comeback. Further, the overnight jump teases a bullish crossover in the MACD indicator while the RSI line takes off from the oversold boundary.
If the reversal rally sustains momentum, the uptrend in the Terra token price can challenge the overhead trendline at $0.00012. However, the resistances at $0.00010 and $0.00011 can result in some hiccups along the way.
Can Terra Classic Rise From The Ashes? Analyst Foresees 1,500% Price Increase

Coincodex analysts predict a modest 10.7% price increase by July 25th, while renowned crypto analyst Javon Marks throws a much bolder 1,500% surge into the ring.

Meanwhile, USTC price also fell over 0.62% as trading volumes dipped by 40% in the last 24 hours. The 24-hour low and high are $0.01758 and 0.01815, respectively.
Earlier, CNF reported that the total LUNC burned has surpassed 113.71 billion. This latest burn by Binance means that the total LUNC tokens burned by the Terra Luna Classic community has now gone past the 113.71 billion mark. Of this total, Binance users contributed a large share, responsible for about 51.9% of the overall tokens that have been burned by the community.
The continued burning of the token supply by the exchange aligns with the goal of fostering the development and stability of Terra Luna Classic. At the time of writing, Terra (LUNA) is priced at $0.4268, reflecting an increase of 4.41% in the past day and 3.01% in the past week. See the price chart of LUNA below.
The community’s decision underscores a cautious approach towards enhancing network decentralization, ensuring the readiness and stability of Terra Luna Classic.

🌖 LUNC News: Terra Classic And LUNA’s Initial Merger Effort Faces Major Roadblock
LUNC News: The Terra Luna Classic community rejected a highly debated proposal to increase the validators set to 130 on the blockchain. The move comes after Terraform Labs and Do Kwon agreed to settle with the U.S. SEC for $4.5 billion.

This will impact immediate block rewards for LUNC users. Instead, the portion from the burn tax would go into long-term staking rewards (Oracle) to improve LUNC staking. In addition, it will help validators, but decrease the APR by about ~0.5% depending upon on-chain volumes.
