Binance, a cryptocurrency exchange, has announced that it has completed the first burn for Terra Classic tokens’ trading fees as a response to a September community proposal. According to the crypto exchange, the burn was approximately 1,863,213.47 USDT or 5.5 million LUNC.
Changpeng Zhao , Binance CEO, stated that the exchange had burned approximately $1.8 million worth of Terra Classic (LUNC), formerly Terra (LUNA). Binance estimates that the total burn was approximately 1,863,213.47 USDT — roughly 5.5 million of LUNC.
In its original announcement, the exchange announced that it would complete each a burn event every Monday. The next event will be Oct. 10, with trading fees sent to a LUNC burning address.
The Terra community suggested the burn strategy to help revive LUNC. Its price fell to nearly zero in May, and briefly soared by more than 250% in Sept.
