Terra Classic Price

Luna Classic or LUNC is the rebranded name for the old LUNA token of the original Terra chain, which will now be known as the Terra Classic blockchain. LUNC is the native digital asset of the Terra Classic network and is used to maintain the price stability of stablecoins running on this network.

The new LUNA or LUNA 2.0 is the native token of the new blockchain called Terra. The new Terra blockchain is a unique network designed by Terraform Labs as part of its founder Do Kwon’s revival plan for Terra (LUNA). The new Terra 2.0 protocol and LUNA emerged following the attack that depegged the former UST stablecoin and caused the old LUNA (now LUNC) token price to crash, resulting in a loss of over $40 billion from the global crypto market.

Do Kwon and his team have envisioned the creation of Terra 2.0 and its coexistence with Terra 1.0 or Terra Classic as a way to revive the steep losses and recover investors’ wealth. To this effect, the launch of Terra 2.0 was announced with free airdrops of LUNA 2.0 tokens to LUNC holders.

One of the key focus areas of the Terra Classic community will be to burn LUNC and USTC tokens to bring back the peg of the USTC to the US dollar. The community could burn LUNC tokens used to pay transaction fees within the Terra Classic ecosystem to revive the LUNA Classic price and help stabilize the value of the USTC stablecoin.

LUNA Classic is the native token of the Terra Classic or Terra 1.0 blockchain and is used for mining, governance, and for paying transaction fees within the ecosystem. The primary use of LUNC, however, is as collateral to maintain the price stability of Terra stablecoins, powered by algorithms.

The Terra Classic crypto can also be staked to improve the performance of the overall ecosystem. LUNC holders also have the option to swap their tokens for USTC stablecoin or other tokens across Terra Classic-based protocols to generate profits.

In addition, LUNA Classic also functions as the governance token of the Terra Classic chain. LUNC holders get voting rights, allowing them to decide whether to add new stablecoins based on real-world assets within the ecosystem. They will also have a say in the future development and upgrades to the Terra Classic network.

You can also invest in Terra LUNA Classic to grow your crypto portfolio. Buy or sell LUNC against other cryptocurrencies or hold it in the long-term if you believe in the future potential of the Terra Classic network. You can also lend liquidity in LUNC to KuCoin via our Crypto Lending feature and grow your LUNC holdings. This is a risk-free and convenient way to generate passive income.

While Terra enjoyed a high adoption of its ecosystem among dApps, especially in the DeFi sector, it will take some time to see if Terra Classic will continue to enjoy the same level of adoption. With several leading projects already committing to migrate to the Terra 2.0 blockchain, the Terra Classic blockchain could evolve into focusing more on building a global payments network using cryptocurrency and drive up the LUNC to USD price.

This evolution could create a new course for the Terra Classic network and establish a new identity. Following the attack, its team of developers seems to be working on a brand new strategy that could help make LUNC an attractive investment.

The LUNA Classic enjoys the support of a strong community that believes in the token's potential, even in the aftermath of the attack. Terraform Labs’ decision to create a brand new blockchain Terra 2.0, and airdrop LUNA tokens to LUNC holders could help boost investor confidence in the crypto and support the LUNA Classic price in the short term.

Terra LUNA Classic holders can trade it against the stablecoins built on the Terra Classic blockchain as part of the protocol’s price stability mechanism for these assets. As the demand for USTC rises, the community will burn more LUNC to ensure its value remains pegged to USD. Such a move can also drive the Terra LUNA Classic price and market capitalization.

On the other hand, a decline in demand for the USTC stablecoin increasing its supply will cause more LUNC to be minted as the USTC is burned. This mechanism will balance the stablecoin supply in the market to ensure that the peg to the US dollar is maintained.

Terra Station is the official wallet of the Terra Classic blockchain and the new Terra blockchain. You can transfer your LUNC holdings from KuCoin Exchange to Terra Station for long-term holding and staking to become a validator or to participate in the governance of the Terra 1.0 ecosystem.
