Burn implementation by Binance has fueled a bullish sentiment among holders. The community started a campaign on crypto Twitter, pushing for a #1000x recovery in Terra Classic price. 

Prior to Binance’s LUNC burn, nearly 291 million LUNC was being burned daily. OfficialTravlad, a crypto analyst and trader, expects other cryptocurrency exchanges to start burning Luna Classic tokens as Binance sets an example with the 5.59 billion LUNC burn. 

The analyst believes over a period of one year, with other cryptocurrency exchanges onboard, 550 billion LUNC could be pulled out of circulation. This represents 12.5% of LUNC’s supply. 

ClassyCrypto_ evaluated the Luna Classic price trend and revealed a bullish outlook. While the community of LUNC holders await a #1000x recovery in Luna Classic, the analyst believes the token could be 3x and lose a zero by the end of 2022 at the current burn rate.
