The world’s largest crypto exchange Binance earlier announced 1.2% tax burn support for Terra Classic (LUNC) and TerraClassicUSD (USTC) on all on-chain activities. But the community wants tax burn support for off-chain activities such as selling and buying. Binance in an updated announcement states that the 1.2% tax burn on the exchange for on-chain transactions will be applicable from September 21 at 22:00 UTC.

Crypto exchange Binance, in a new announcement on September 16, said the exchange will implement the 1.2% tax burn for Terra Classic (LUNC) and TerraClassicUSD (USTC) on September 21 at 22:00 UTC.
