Let make the Luna Classic comeback.
Nearly every LUNC in circulation was minted in a single week of May 2022View quoted post on X
Terra Classic's circulating supply sits near 5.5 trillion terra-luna:native. Almost none of it existed before one week in May 2022.
Terra let anyone redeem 1 UST, its dollar stablecoin, for $1 of LUNA at any price. The run began on May 7, when two addresses pulled 375 million UST out of Anchor, the protocol paying 20% yield on roughly three-quarters of UST's supply, per NBER research.
As LUNA's price fell, each redeemed dollar minted more tokens: ten at $0.10, a hundred at $0.01, per the New York Fed.
Supply grew roughly 20,000-fold before the original chain was renamed Terra Classic. Those trillions are what the burn tax works against today.
