Is Terra Classic Planning For USTC To Be Pegged To The Dollar Again?

NEWSBTC
The Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) community has voted overwhelmingly,
with nearly 60% in favor, to cease the minting and reminting of
Terra Classic UST (USTC) tokens. The drastic decision, in a
decisive move aimed at rescuing the beleaguered Terra Classic
stablecoin, comes in the wake of Terra’s collapse in May 2022,
which had sent shockwaves through the crypto market, leaving USTC’s
value in shambles. The proposal to halt USTC minting and reminting
is part of a comprehensive plan to facilitate the re-pegging
process of the stablecoin. To accelerate this process, members of
the Terra Classic community are actively encouraged to participate
in the burning of USTC tokens, effectively reducing the token’s
circulating supply. Related Reading: XRP Forecast: Is A Retreat
Below $0.5 Likely Before October? Before the catastrophic events of
May 2022, Terra’s blockchain network allowed users to seamlessly
swap between USTC and LUNA, Terra’s native cryptocurrency. However,
as the network crumbled and USTC lost its peg to the US dollar, the
system began minting LUNA coins in a desperate attempt to restore
stability. This emergency measure led to an oversupply of
LUNA tokens and a cascading effect on its price, dragging USTC’s
value far below its intended $1 mark. The Yes votes have it.

primary objective with this proposal is to expedite the burning of
LUNA tokens, ultimately driving up their value. The burning
process, where tokens are permanently removed from circulation, has
been sluggish so far, with only 75 billion LUNC tokens successfully
incinerated. This leaves the circulating supply at approximately
5.9 trillion LUNC, out of a total supply of 6.84 trillion. As more
LUNA tokens were minted to restore the USTC peg, the oversupply put
immense downward pressure on LUNA’s price. Consequently, USTC’s
value suffered a steep decline from its initial $1 valuation.

Accumulation Signals Amidst Uncertainty Despite the tumultuous
journey thus far, there are positive indicators that offer a
glimmer of hope for the Terra Luna Classic community. According to
CoinGecko, the current price of LUNC stands at $0.00006150,
reflecting a 2.9% increase in the past 24 hours and a promising
6.6% surge over the past seven days. Key momentum indicators
observed within a 24-hour window show signs of approaching
overbought levels. LUNC’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at
53, indicating moderate strength, while its Money Flow Index (MFI)
is at 76, suggesting robust accumulation. This shift in sentiment
indicates that the community’s efforts to restore value may be
gaining traction. LUNC price action in the last seven days. Source:
