Binance has contributed over 51% to the total LUNC burn by sending billions to the burn address as part of its monthly LUNC burn mechanism. Binance burned 5.57 billion Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) tokens in the 17th batch of the <a href="https://coingape.com/binance-burns-5-57-billion-terra-luna-classic-lunc-and-ustc-prices-rise-over-7/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">LUNC burn</a> mechanism. The total LUNC burned by the crypto exchange to date reaches almost 50 billion.
LUNC token circulating supply is 5.78 trillion and the total supply is 6.81 trillion LUNC. However, the community still needs to work on utility, funding, and chain developments to support the increase in LUNC burn rate.
Currently, the community tried to <a href="https://coingape.com/terra-luna-classic-community-turns-down-major-burn-proposal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">burn USTC</a> and LUNC sitting idle in other protocols, but it needs a clear directive to proceed with burns.
