Binance exchange burns the sixteenth shipment of Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) tokens, totaling nearly 4 billion, bringing the total number of LUNC destroyed by the exchange to over 43 billion, representing 52% of the total tokens burned by the Terra Luna Classic community.
The transaction from December 1 indicates that cryptocurrency exchange Binance transferred 3.90 billion Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) tokens to the fire address. Binance continues to support the community’s LUNC fire campaign to reduce the amount of LUNC in circulation following Changpeng “CZ” Zhao’s departure as CEO.
It is worth mentioning that the 16th cohort of the LUNC burn mechanism runs from October 31 to November 29. Since the most recent fire, Binance has depleted trading fees on LUNC spot and margin trading pairs by more than 43 billion Terra Classic tokens. Nearly 83 billion LUNC tokens have been burned by the community.
Binance incinerated 760 million Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) tokens in November, the fewest to date. As a result of FUD, decreased developer activity, and a decline in LUNC trading volumes on the exchange, the burn rate decreased substantially.
The community has not witnessed this magnitude of a LUNC combustion in the past few months, CoinGape reports, due to the tremendous increase in trading volumes this week. Binance introduced a USTC perpetual contract and two new USTC trading pairs, FDUSD and TRY, which substantially impact the volume of transactions on the exchange.
