U.Today presents top four crypto news stories over the past day.
Terra LUNA circulating supply increases by nearly 1.9 million percent within days
According to data shared by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, over the last seven days, the circulating quantity of Terra's LUNA has surged by over 1.9 million percent. Last week, LUNA’s circulating supply was roughly 342 million. So far, it has increased by 6.18 billion, bringing the total to 6,531,899,614,602 LUNA. Meanwhile, Terra’s co-founder Do Kwon has come up with a new rescue plan, proposing to fork the Terra chain into a new chain without the UST stablecoin. The new plan, however, was met with heavy criticism, with some commenters accusing Kwon of seeking to extract money from users.
DOGE price on the brink: What to keep an eye on
A massive "risk off" on the cryptocurrency market caused by the risk of a U.S. economic recession and the recent collapse of LUNA has not left Dogecoin unaffected: the meme crypto experienced almost the largest weekly drop of more than 40%, with its price currently at a crossroads. Given the unparalleled connection of the cryptocurrency market to significant U.S. indices like the S&P500 and NASDAQ, investors are waiting for the outcomes of the week's major economic events. Special focus is on today's speech by Jerome Powell, a member of the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors.
Per CoinMarketCap, DOGE is now changing hands at $0.089.
