Over the last 48 hours, there has been an upswing in the prices of LUNC, USTC, and even LUNA.
With an overwhelming majority of expert validators approving the proposal, the Terra Luna Classic community has voted in favor of pausing USTC minting by raising the Tobin tax to 100%. To steer the Terra Luna Classic chain and LUNC token back on course, various initiatives have been introduced by the community and developers in response to proposal 11868, titled "Fulfill prop #11784 by disabling USTC minting via raising Tobin tax to 100%."
The recent uptrend in LUNC, USTC, and even LUNA over the past 48 hours has been notable.
The proposal's objective is to prevent the further creation of USTC by suggesting a Tobin tax increase to 100%. The vote on this proposal was nearly unanimous, securing a 98.95% approval from expert validators, with 50 out of 55 validators endorsing the measure. This marks a rare instance where all validators, including major ones like Allnodes and Interstellar Lounge, have unanimously supported a proposition, breaking a trend that persisted for months.
In response to the 2022 Terra-LUNA crisis, the mechanism enabling LUNC swaps for other cryptocurrencies through the market module was deactivated. This effectively halts any ongoing market trading or coin minting on Terra Classic. Additionally, users will no longer have the option to exchange USTC for other stablecoins to prevent USTC burn during swaps. However, the plan does not impact coin trading on decentralized exchanges like Terraswap, where existing pairs remain unaffected.
The market response to these developments reflected in the surge of LUNC price to $0.000095, although it faced a brief retracement. At the time of writing, LUNC is trading at $0.00008396, accompanied by a notable 34.56% increase in trading volume over the last day. The current price appears to be consolidating, suggesting a potential breakout in either direction.
