Currently, the total supply of LUNC is approximately 5.78 trillion, and Binance’s monthly burns have been steadily reducing the supply, aiming to increase scarcity and potentially trigger a price spike for the cryptocurrency.

Additionally, the Terra Classic community revealed that LUNC is currently showing strong strength after breaking through a key resistance level. The cryptocurrency has experienced a massive 49% rise over the past 30 days, highlighting its strength and potential in the market.​

The community also announced upcoming projects and new partnerships that could drive the value of LUNC and the Terra Classic ecosystem to new heights.​
