Detailed Summary

Remember Luna? The sister token of the supposed stablecoin that crashed in early May 2022? Luna Classic (LUNC) is the version renamed after its co-founder Do Kwon and the Terra community decided on a Terra ecosystem recovery plan that created a hard fork in the Terra chain to split it into two distinct chains. 

The original chain is now called Terra Classic, with the token renamed Luna Classic (LUNC), and the new one is termed Terra 2.0, with the token called Luna (LUNA). While LUNC had initially been faltering in value since its split, its recent pump of over 200% from late November to early December 2023 has investors wondering if Luna Classic might recover.

Key Takeaways:

  • Luna Classic (LUNC) is the native coin of the old Terra chain that’s been rebranded as Terra Classic after the Luna hard fork on May 28, 2022.

  • LUNC utilizes a burn mechanism to reduce its inflated supply of tokens, while LUNA doesn’t have a burn mechanism.

  • LUNC can be bought on Bybit as a Spot pair or as a USDT Perpetual contract.
