The native token of Terra Classic, LUNC, has experienced an extraordinary surge, with a 45% increase from $0.000064 to nearly eliminating one zero from its price. The recent approval of a crucial proposal related to USTC minting is the catalyst behind this surge.

Details of the Proposal
The Terra Classic Commonwealth portal shared some details about the proposal, explaining that USTC only goes into circulation through the market module. The proposal aimed to disable USTC minting by introducing a Tobin tax of 100% for swaps to USTC. To meet the proposal’s goal, the Layer One Task Force (LITF) team made a code change, introducing a new governance parameter to set a Tobin tax for swaps to USTC.
There was talk within the community about raising all Tobin taxes for stablecoins to 100%, simplifying the process without needing a code change. Ultimately, the proposal succeeded in its mission, making all market swapping and coin minting on Terra Classic inactive and stopping new USTC circulation.

Hot Take: LUNC’s Surge Indicates Community Support for Proposal
The surge in LUNC’s trading volume and cumulative 30-day performance increase demonstrates strong support for the proposal within the Terra Classic community. This approval has not only led to increased trading volume but also contributed to significant growth in LUNC’s performance.
