LUNC is the coin of Terra Classic: 5.52T circulate, about 86% of all coins. Staked coins and the community pool sit outside that count.

Sell pressure. The chain mints nothing. The only coins that came back were 281.85M LUNC paid out of the community pool by vote.

Buy pressure. The transfer tax burned 6.62B, an exchange's monthly burn 966M more, and the pool kept 1.19B.

1. Protocol inflation
0

The chain prints no new LUNC. Its mint setting is 0%, the old swap that once created LUNC is shut, and total supply fell from 6,454.35B to 6,446.77B over the 90 days. Validators are paid from fees and a reward pool, not new coins.

Nothing vests. The 2019 allocations finished long ago, and there is no team, investor or sale schedule left on this chain.

3. Foundation + unscheduled unlocks
~281.85M LUNC

There is no foundation. The one shared treasury is the community pool (9.27B LUNC, outside the circulating count); it pays only after a vote. One payment went out: 281.85M LUNC on Sep 4 2026 for IBC relayers. Next: a 253.07M LUNC payment for the Hyperlane bridge, with 94% yes votes and the vote closing Oct 15 2026.

4. Long-term locked or bankruptcy
0

Eight wallets left by the wound-down Terraform Labs hold about 302.2M LUNC; they barely moved (−0.44M) and are already counted as circulating. No trustee is paying LUNC out.

1. Programmatic buyback
0

The chain itself buys nothing back. The monthly exchange burn below is run by an exchange, not by the protocol.

checked · Oct 9 2026
2. Protocol fee burn
~6.62B LUNC

Every on-chain transfer pays a tax, and 80% of it is destroyed. A vote raised the tax from 0.5% to 1.5% on Aug 2 2026, and the burn went from about 33M to about 86M LUNC a day. Over 90 days it destroyed 6.62B LUNC; the next 90 days use the new rate, about 7.78B.

checked · Oct 9 2026
3. Foundation buy
0

No foundation or treasury buys LUNC. The community pool only grows from its tax share (row 6).

checked · Oct 9 2026
4. New long-term lock
~555.97M LUNC

Staked LUNC is left out of the circulating count, so more staking takes coins off the market. The stake rose from 902.15B to 902.71B, but it swings both ways (914.91B on Oct 1), so no change is assumed for the next 90 days. Another 51.05B is unstaking and already counts as circulating.

checked · Oct 9 2026
5. Exchange buy-and-burn
~966.42M LUNC

A large exchange burns LUNC on the 1st of each month: 275.65M on Aug 1, 334.88M on Sep 1 and 355.89M on Oct 1 2026, all sent to the chain's burn address and destroyed in the same block. Three more burns fall in the next 90 days.

checked · Oct 9 2026
6. Community pool intake
~1.19B LUNC

10% of the transfer tax goes to the community pool, which sits outside the circulating count until a vote spends it. It took in 1.19B LUNC in 90 days, about 16M a day since the tax rise.

LUNC · Coin Demand

Two sides: how much people want LUNC right now, and how much buying could come later.

2 / 5Weak

Current demand1.5 / 2.5

This part is based on social media. It shows how hot LUNC is right now. A better rank means more people are talking about it.

LUNC on social mediaIts rank among the 110 coins we follow · last 12 months · #1 = most talked about
#48 · Oct 9 2026

Today, people are talking about LUNC for two reasons:

  1. 1
    Should LUNC take back the LUNA name?

    On Oct 5 2026 a signal vote was filed to drop the "Classic" label and give the old names back: LUNC would become LUNA again and USTC would become UST. It is still collecting its deposit until Oct 19 2026, and on its own it changes nothing on the chain. People ask whether a new name would bring new buyers or only confuse them.

  2. 2
    The chain votes to pay for its new bridge.

    A vote closing on Oct 15 2026 would pay about 253M LUNC from the community pool to the team that built the Hyperlane bridge, which links LUNC and USTC to Ethereum, BNB Chain and Solana. Most of the staked votes so far say yes, and a fix to the bridge contracts passed on Oct 8 2026. People ask whether the bridge will bring real use to Terra Classic.

Should you buy LUNC? Questions about LUNC

Is it a good time to buy Terra Luna Classic today?

Supply and demand point to a positive long-run signal for Terra Luna Classic (Oct 11 2026, score 7/10). Terra Luna Classic adds −0.18% new supply in 90 days, and demand reads weak (2/5). Terra Luna Classic's price drivers: 0 ▲ price up, 0 ▼ price down.

What Terra Luna Classic news should holders watch next?

Next up is Oct 15 2026, when the bridge payment vote ends. Validator upgrades keep passing, but the USTC repeg is still only a plan. Meanwhile LUNC supply keeps shrinking slowly, −0.18% in 90 days. That leaves Terra Luna Classic's long-run signal at positive, by supply and demand.

Is Terra Luna Classic burning enough coins to matter?

Supply is going down, but slowly: −0.18% in the next 90 days and about −0.70% over a year (Oct 10 2026). That is small next to 5.52 trillion LUNC in circulation. Another weight: one Binance wallet holds about a quarter of all LUNC, so its moves likely count more. That leaves Terra Luna Classic's long-run signal at positive, by supply and demand.

Could Terra Luna Classic ever hit 1 cent?

Terra Luna Classic trades near 0.00504 cents (Oct 11 2026). 1 cent a coin means a $55.2B market cap, 198 times today's $278M. Terra Luna Classic's supply barely changes in the next year (−0.70%), so the whole move would have to come from demand. That leaves Terra Luna Classic's long-run signal at positive, by supply and demand.

Should I sell my Terra Luna Classic now?

We would read Terra Luna Classic differently if new supply jumps (today −0.18% in 90 days), or demand falls from weak. Until then Terra Luna Classic's signal stays positive. Mark this date for Terra Luna Classic: Oct 15 2026 — Bridge payment vote ends.

Is Terra Luna Classic a good long-term investment?

Terra Luna Classic scores 7/10 on our framework (Oct 11 2026): supply 5/5 (shrinking), demand 2/5. Over the next year Terra Luna Classic's supply changes −0.70%. The long-run signal is positive.

How do I know when to buy Terra Luna Classic?

Supply and demand favor Terra Luna Classic most when little new supply is coming, demand is strong and the price drivers point up. Right now Terra Luna Classic has −0.18% new supply in 90 days (shrinking), demand weak (2/5), drivers 0 ▲ / 0 ▼.

Will Terra Luna Classic go up in 2026?

Terra Luna Classic's price drivers today: 0 pointing up, 0 pointing down, out of 2. • Binance wallet: One Binance wallet holds about a quarter of all LUNC. • Validator votes: Upgrades keep passing; USTC repeg is still only a plan.

Is Terra Luna Classic a better investment than Bitcoin?

Terra Luna Classic: positive signal, 7/10 · Bitcoin: positive signal, 8.5/10 (Oct 11 2026). By supply and demand, Terra Luna Classic reads weaker than Bitcoin today.

Every answer here applies basic economic theory — the law of supply and demand — to this coin's data. It is not financial advice. How we read every coin →

How does MrNasdog judge every coin, and why is -0.18% shown in green?

We look at two things, half each: supply and demand. Fewer new coins mean less selling pressure. A meme coin scores 1.5 at most on supply: its team got its coins for free, so no new supply does not make it safe. We also show each coin's age, with a warning when it is younger than 1 year. Demand looks at how much people want the coin now and how much buying could come later. Price Drivers (Beta) are the 2 or 3 things that can move one coin's price that supply and demand miss; they have no score. LUNC supply is not growing (-0.18% in the next 90 days), so it shows in green. Zero or falling supply is always green, any growth is red.
