Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) is experiencing a resurgence of interest, with the number of token holders reaching a record high of 5.5 million. This milestone, while not at the meteoric pace seen after the 2022 crisis, signifies continued support for the project.
Growing User Base Despite Challenges
Data from Cosmos blockchain explorer ATOMScan reveals the increasing user base. This 5.5 million figure represents a jump from 5 million since the Terra Luna Classic community, backed by developers and validators, began its revitalization efforts. Notably, Terra Classic boasts more wallet addresses than prominent cryptocurrencies like Cardano (4.6 million) and Shiba Inu (1.38 million).
Several factors contribute to Terra Luna Classic’s user base expansion. Binance’s unwavering support, including its ongoing LUNC burn program (over 53.48 billion tokens burned to date), plays a significant role. Additionally, other exchanges and projects are joining the burn initiative, further reducing the LUNC token supply. This scarcity could potentially lead to price appreciation in the future.
Price Upttick Precedes Major Upgrade
The news of a record-breaking user base coincides with a 5% price increase for LUNC. This jump comes after a strong support level of $0.000123 and aligns with a positive overall sentiment surrounding the upcoming v2.4.2 upgrade. However, trading volume has decreased by 40% in the past 24 hours, indicating a potential slowdown in active trading.
USTC Sees Modest Gains
TerraClassic’s stablecoin counterpart, USTC, also experienced a modest price increase of 2% over the past day. While trading volume has dipped similarly to LUNC, the overall sentiment seems cautiously optimistic.
Looking Ahead to A Sustainable Future?
Whether Terra Luna Classic can recapture its former glory remains to be seen. However, the growing user base, ongoing burn initiatives, and upcoming network upgrade all paint a picture of a project determined to move forward. The coming months will be crucial in determining if Terra Luna Classic can translate its user growth into a sustainable and thriving ecosystem.
