The price of terra luna classic (LUNC) has fallen by 2.5% in the past 24 hours, with the altcoin also down by nearly 30% in the past week, at $0.00017357. The drops come as the fallout from FTX's collapse continues to weigh down the wider market, with LUNC's momentum from early September unable to carry out through a turbulent period for crypto.

This had helped to boost the altcoin to the highest level it had seen since TerraUSD (UST) infamously collapsed in May, yet market-wide troubles and a subsequent vote to lower the tax burn have meant that LUNC has sunk steadily since September.
Now, with the market reeling from FTX's bankruptcy, LUNC is likely to continue falling for the foreseeable future, even with ongoing burns.

Such falls are likely to come despite ongoing LUNC token burns. So far, just over 27 billion LUNC has been burned to date, which comprises only 0.4% of the altcoin's total supply of 6.9 trillion.
Clearly, the Terra Classic community will need to do
