The Terra Luna price has dopped to $2.00 today, with the altcoin falling by as much as 10% in the past 24-hour period. Its current level represents an 11% fall in a week, although it remains up by 58% in the last 30 days, making it one of the best-performing coins in the top-100 cryptocurrencies by market cap.
LUNA's fall today follows news that Binance has updated the 'risk warning' it gives to customers when they trade the altcoin, with the exchange now advising users that the "token has been the subject of negative news/coverage recently."

As noted above, Binance has updated its risk warning for LUNA. Up until yesterday, the exchange had taken the step of warning that "A South Korean court has issued an arrest warrant against the founder of Terra 2.0 (LUNA). Please understand the risks involved and trade with caution."
