The Terra Classic burn mechanism automatically burns tokens whenever a transaction occurs on the network.
Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, has burned 2.65 billion Terra Classic (LUNC) tokens in its 11th burn round.
The total LUNC tokens burned by Binance now exceed 35.5 billion, with the community’s burn surpassing 68 billion. Traders have reacted positively to the burn, with LUNC seeing a 3% price increase.
Based on a transaction executed on July 1, Binance transferred 2.65 billion LUNC tokens to the burn address, reducing the circulating supply. The transaction also involved a transaction fee of 13.25 million LUNC.
The Terra Classic burn mechanism automatically burns tokens whenever a transaction occurs on the network. The number of tokens burned is relative to the number in circulation.
This ensures that the total supply of tokens is constantly decreasing, hypothetically increasing their value over time.
As reported by Coingape, Binance conducted a burn of 1.04 billion LUNC tokens in June. Although Binance reduced its contribution from LUNC spot and margin trading fees from 100% to 50%, the community expressed gratitude for the support provided by the crypto exchange and its CEO, Changpeng Zhao.
Over the past two months, the LUNC burn rate has shown improvement, thanks to initiatives from projects like DFLunc, TerraCasino, and Cremation Coin, which burn millions of LUNC tokens on a weekly basis. As a result, the community has successfully burned a total of 68 billion LUNC tokens.
Following the successful completion of its largest upgrade in the previous month, aiming to align the chain with Terra 2.0 and other Cosmos chains, the community’s current focus is on decreasing the supply of LUNC and USTC tokens in the third quarter. Additionally, the Joint L1 Task Force and Quant team will collaborate on the USTC repeg initiative.
In June, the price of Terra Classic struggled to surpass the $0.0001 mark and declined below the support level of $0.000090. Despite Binance’s burn, the LUNC price remains under pressure, showing continued downward movement.
According to Coinmarketcap, LUNC’s price jumps 3% in the last 24 hours, with the price currently trading at $0.000087. The 24-hour low and high are $0.0000820 and $0.0000889, respectively. However, the trading volume has decreased in the last 24 hours.
