Current supply data (Latest as of April 2026)
Total Supply: Approximately 6.46 trillion (around 6,464,742,174,146 LUNC).
Circulating Supply: Approximately 5.46 trillion (around 5,462,985,482,186 LUNC).
Total burned amount: Approximately 44.26 billion (442.6 billion), accounting for about 6-7% of the total supply.
To reach a supply of 100 billion, it requires burning approximately 5.36 trillion to 5.46 trillion LUNC (depending on whether it is for total supply or circulating supply). This is almost 80-85% of the remaining supply.
Current burning rate.
Daily average burning: Recent data fluctuates between 15 million and 700 million LUNC (7-day average is about 105 million per day, 30-day average is even lower, around 45 million per day).
Normal trading tax (on-chain burn, tax rate around 0.5%) contributes little.
Most of the burning relies on the trading fees from exchanges (like Binance), but Binance has decreased from 100% to 50%, and the overall trading volume is not high.
Annual burning estimate: At the current average rate, approximately 15-25 billion per year (0.3-0.4% supply reduction).
How long will it take to reach 100 billion?
Simple linear calculation (assuming constant rate, not considering new issuance or acceleration):
At 100 million burning per day (optimistic average): about 36.5 billion per year.
Burning 54 trillion will take about 148 years.
At 500 million per day (peak, requiring extremely high trading volume): about 182.5 billion per year.
It will take about 30 years.
If the rate remains at the current low level (tens of millions per day): 200-300+ years or even longer.
Some community trackers indicate that reaching similar low supply targets (like 10 billion) may take 60-100+ years. In reality, the burning rate highly depends on network activity, trading volume, and participation in exchanges; currently, none of these have shown explosive growth.
Why is it so slow? Real-world challenges.
Limited trading volume: The daily trading volume of LUNC is only a few million to tens of millions of dollars, generating very little tax revenue.
Mechanism limitation: The tax rate has decreased from an early 1.2% to around 0.5%, and the exchange's burning fee ratio is also being adjusted.
No exponential growth: Unless there is widespread adoption, a dApp explosion, or new proposals significantly increasing tax rates/forced burning, the rate is unlikely to increase substantially.
History has shown: From the crash in 2022 to now over 4 years, only about 7% has been burned, and the supply is still in trillions.
Summary: Based on current data and trends, burning to a supply of 100 billion is not a matter of a few years but a long-term process of decades to hundreds of years. Many community members also acknowledge this, so some are pushing for radical proposals like '1:10 merge' (instantly burning 90%), but it has not yet passed. Price increases rely more on market sentiment and ecosystem rebuilding rather than purely on burning supply.
