Holders of Terra Classic [LUNC] registered gains during the intraday trading session on 26 September as the price of the asset immediately surged by over 30% following Binance’s announcement.
Leading exchange, Binance, released an announcement blog on 26 September. Binance informed its users of the implementation of a burn mechanism that would burn all trading fees paid to it on LUNC spot and margin trading pairs. Binance intended to do this by sending the trading fees to the LUNC burn address.
In an earlier statement from Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, it was stated that Binance would impose an optional 1.2% tax upon all LUNC trading. This was to become permanent if the traders who decided to opt-in had reached 50% of the total LUNC trading volume on the exchange.
However, the Terra community did not like the approach Zhao suggested. Hence, the new approach to burn all fees on LUNC spot and margin trading pairs.
