Tomiwabold OlajideLUNC trading volume falls double digits, is Binance burning hype over?
Yesterday, LUNC trading volume dropped 34.43% and the asset’s price lost 1% of its value. Since Monday, Sept. 26, when Binance announced the token burning mechanism, volumes have fallen by 75%. While on the day of announcement LUNC's trading volume exceeded $2 billion, now it does not exceed $600 million. It is worth noting that Binance accounts for only $306 billion in LUNC, which is a little more than half of all of the trading volumes of the cryptocurrency. The first stage of burning will end on Oct. 1, and the number of LUNC burned over this first period will only be known by the community on Oct. 3.
