The Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) has recently undergone significant shifts in its reserve holdings, sparking discussions and concerns within the Terra Classic (LUNC) community. A notable development highlighted by crypto enthusiast Bleeves Crypto on X is the removal of LUNC and USTC from the LFG wallet, raising questions about the timing of their anticipated burn.
LFG Reserves Undergo Major Overhaul
Bleeves Crypto shared a screenshot of the LFG Reserves dashboard, revealing a substantial decline in various asset holdings. The total reserve balance now stands at $64.15 million, a 54.3% decrease from the previous day.
A breakdown of the reserve balance shows that UST constitutes the majority at 66.2%, followed by BTC at 33.8%. While LUNC and USTC have been removed from the LFG wallet, their fate remains uncertain as the burn process has yet to commence.
Implications for the LUNC Community
Terraform Labs CEO Chris Amani confirmed the burn of LUNC and USTC in June, generating significant excitement within the community and leading to a short-lived price surge for LUNC. However, the recent removal of these tokens without immediate burning has ignited mixed reactions.

Historically, significant token burns have reduced supply and potentially led to price increases, serving as a bullish signal for the market. When Amani announced the burn in June, over 6.5 billion LUNC tokens were burned within 24 hours, primarily driven by large wallets and centralized exchange activity.
This event resulted in a significant reduction of LUNC’s total supply, impacting its market price. However, LUNC and USTC experienced price volatility following the burn. LUNC’s price dropped by 14%, while USTC saw a 3.17% decline.
While token burns often fuel price increases, the anticipated burns for LUNC and USTC could potentially have a positive impact on their respective prices. At press time, LUNC traded at 0.0000889, down 3.38% in the past 24 hours, and USTC traded at $0.02201, down 7.12% during the same period.
As the LUNC community eagerly awaits the burn of LUNC and USTC, the impact of these recent reserve changes on the future of the Terra Classic ecosystem remains to be seen.
