According to the LUNC burn transaction that took place on May 1, cryptocurrency exchange Binance sent 1.4 billion LUNC tokens to the burn address. Of all the LUNC burnt by the community, 52% came from Binance, making it the leading contributor.

Specifically, from March 31st to April 29th, Binance burned through a substantial amount of trading fees via the 21st batch of the LUNC burn mechanism. Trading fees on the LUNC spot and margin trading pairs have caused Binance to burn over 57.66 billion Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) tokens so far.

The daily LUNC trading volume fell in April, contributing to the overall market-wide downturn in crypto prices and trading volumes. Daily trade volumes averaged $30 million in April, while prices plummeted below $0.0001. A month ago, the market valuation was over $1 billion; now, it’s around $600 million.

There were 4.17 billion Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) tokens burnt by Binance in the 20th LUNC burn mechanism. Due to the dramatic rise in trading activity in March, the exchange burned 4.17 billion in trading fees on LUNC spot and margin trading pairs, with a total value of $722,630.
