<p><strong>Date</strong>: Thu, Oct 31, 2024, 10:27 AM GMT</p><p>Today, the Terra ecosystem&#39;s two main tokens, Terra Classic (LUNC) and TerraClassicUSD (USTC), have seen notable price gains. LUNC has increased by over 2%, while USTC has surged by more than 8%, as investors anticipate a potential burn event expected to take place today on October 31, 2024, that could reduce the tokens’ circulating supply.</p><p><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/08076676f70140e3a3ee253cb5600ea3.png" />Source: Coinmarketcap</p><h3 id="burn-event-and-sec-settlement-details">Burn Event and SEC Settlement Details</h3><p>The current price spike comes in anticipation of a possible burn event tied to a recent <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/terra-classic-lunc/court-orders-massive-lunc-burn/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">settlement </a>between Terraform Labs (TFL) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As part of a $4.5 billion settlement, TFL is required to burn a portion of its LUNC holdings before the month’s end or face additional financial penalties. Specifically, TFL has been instructed to destroy private keys associated with wallets holding these LUNC coins, ensuring that these assets cannot re-enter circulation.</p><h3 id="community-impact-and-the-shuttle-bridge-closure">Community Impact and the Shuttle Bridge Closure</h3><p>In preparation for the burn, Terra Classic community members was already <a href="https://x.com/TerraNewsEN/status/1848295805477654529" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">advised </a>to withdraw any assets still locked in the Shuttle Bridge, a cross-chain transfer tool that will be permanently closed during the burn. The bridge’s shutdown means users won’t have access to it once the burn is executed.</p><p>However, as of the latest updates, TFL has not yet officially closed the Shuttle Bridge. Approximately 251 billion LUNC and 176.3 million USTC tokens remain held there, awaiting the burn. If the burn goes through as planned, it could remove 251 billion tokens from LUNC’s current supply of around 6 trillion, representing a roughly 4% reduction in circulation.</p><p><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/2da1ea68b8d64159be04ad46db4d802f.jpeg" />Source: X</p><h3 id="live-data-from-lunc-burner-tracker">Live Data from LUNC Burner Tracker</h3><p>Live data from the <a href="https://lunc.tech/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">LUNC Burner</a> tracker shows no significant burns have been recorded thus far. With no major movements on the tracker, the community continues to monitor for developments as today’s potential burn deadline nears.</p><p><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/b529668d40264f0cb999b2f53366adb9.png" />Source: lunc.tech</p><h3 id="potential-market-implications">Potential Market Implications</h3><p>While a 4% decrease in circulating supply may not drastically shift LUNC’s overall market dynamics, it signals a significant step towards controlling the token’s supply inflation. For Terra Classic supporters, today’s burn could be the beginning of ongoing efforts to stabilize and enhance the token’s value.</p><p><strong>Disclaimer: </strong><em>This article is for informational purposes only and is not financial advice.
