LUNA 2.0 Starts Trading

The new LUNA coin started trading yesterday, following the Terra 2.0 mainnet launch, which took place on May 27, 2022. LUNA 2.0 spot trading is now live on a number of exchanges, including Kraken, KuCoin, Bybit, and OKex. Binance will also list the token on May 31, 2022.   

Do Kwon, the founder and CEO of Terra Labs, proposed a plan to revive LUNA after its catastrophic crash to $0 in mid-May. After a week-long vote, 65% of the Luna Community approved the proposal.  “To view your LUNA (or LUNA2 as some exchanges call them) token balances, you only need to log into the station and refresh the page,” wrote Do Kwon on Twitter.

 The price of Luna 2.0 pumped to a high of $30, then fell to a low of about $4 on some exchanges.  The price currently sits around $5.75 at the time of writing.
