Binance implements Terra Classic (LUNC) Burn Mechanism
The recent rally has reportedly followed a favorable announcement by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao. In a long Twitter thread, the CZ, as he is popularly known, announced that his company would implement a new LUNC burning mechanism.
Through this, the largest crypto exchange in the world will contribute to the supply decrease of Luna Classic tokens, according to Zhao.
“We have decided to begin burning all trading fees collected on the LUNC/BUSD and LUNC/USDT spot and margin trading pairs on Binance. Fees will be converted to LUNC then sent to the burn address. The burn is paid at our expense, not the users,”
Zhao announced.
The decision by Binance comes as a huge win for the Luna Classic community. The company had initially announced that it would support the 1.2% tax burns on deposit and withdrawal trading fees. However, this would not apply to the on-chain transactions on LUNC, including spot and margin trading.
As CoinChapter earlier reported, Terra Classic fans had shown their displeasure at the announcement, as over 30% of LUNC tokens are in Binance holdings.
However, with Binance now showing its support, Terra Classic fans are getting more bullish on the altcoin.
Meanwhile, LUNA, the new token of the Terra ecosystem, continues to remain low. It currently exchanges hands at around $2.55, nearly 90% below its all-time high of $19.54 in May 2022.
