To be honest, every time I see the token LUNC, I feel like it resembles the script of 'Phoenix Nirvana' in the cryptocurrency world. Falling from the peak to the bottom, yet there is always a group of die-hard fans shouting to bring it back to glory. Today, I will combine data and market logic to share with you my true views on the future of LUNC.
Let's first dig into the background of LUNC
The predecessor of LUNC, LUNA, was once one of the brightest stars in the crypto circle. Launched in 2019, it came with the dream of 'changing the financial world,' with an early price of just a few cents. In 2021, it skyrocketed to over 90 dollars, and then in April 2022, it surged to a historical peak of 119 dollars, at which point almost everyone believed it would change the world.
But the plot took a sharp turn—its algorithmic stablecoin UST decoupled, directly collapsing the entire system. In just a few days, LUNA's value evaporated by more than 99.9%, and it was later renamed LUNC, now priced at less than $0.0001. To put it bluntly, this is more thrilling than a roller coaster; how many people lost everything overnight?
Current situation: The community is very passionate, but reality is harsh.
Currently, LUNC's price is stuck around a few cents (recently around $0.00006), with a market cap of over three billion dollars. The key issue is: the supply is too large—circulating supply reaches 5.46 trillion tokens, a number that makes one dizzy.
The community has thought of many ways to save the market, with the most famous being the token burn mechanism: the initial proposal was to burn 1.2% of LUNC with each transaction, but later it was lowered to 0.2% to avoid affecting network activity. Exchanges like Binance also regularly burn LUNC; for instance, they previously burned over 43 billion tokens. The idea is good, but to be honest, at the current burn rate, it will take several years to bring the supply down to reasonable levels.
Price prediction: my personal judgment.
I prefer to look at market cap and supply for price predictions. I completely ignore unreliable statements like 'soaring to $1'. Here is my rational analysis:
2025: If the overall cryptocurrency market goes bullish, coupled with ongoing burn plans, LUNC might slowly rise to the range of $0.0002 to $0.0005. But don’t expect a sudden turnaround; stabilizing would be good enough.
2026: If the ecosystem can develop, the price might challenge the $0.001 mark. However, it depends on whether there is progress in actual applications; relying solely on speculation won't go far.
2030: In the long run, if the project can continue to build and reduce supply, the price might climb to $0.0025 to $0.005. But the premise is to survive until then; the elimination rate in the cryptocurrency world is too high.
2040-2050: Such long-term predictions are basically a guessing game. If LUNC miraculously becomes mainstream, the price might break $0.01 or even higher, but you know how low the probability is.
Why is 'rising to $1' basically a dream?
There are always people in the community shouting that LUNC will return to $1. Let's do the math: If LUNC really reaches $1, its market cap would have to reach several trillion dollars—this is higher than the current total market cap of all cryptocurrencies. Is it possible? Clearly unrealistic. The more likely scenario is that when the price gets to a few cents, early large holders will sell to cash out, and the price won't hold.
Key factors affecting price
In my eyes, how far LUNC goes in the future depends on these few aspects:
Token burn efficiency: right now it’s a slow and steady approach; unless there is a large-scale burn plan, the effect will be limited.
Ecosystem development: Can it attract developers back to build applications? Just having community enthusiasm is not enough; there needs to be actual use.
Market trend: LUNC follows the rise and fall of Bitcoin; it’s easier for LUNC to rise when Bitcoin is bullish.
Market sentiment: LUNC is particularly susceptible to social media influence; a celebrity wearing a LUNC t-shirt can cause price fluctuations, but this is purely short-term speculation.
My final advice
Investing in LUNC is like buying a lottery ticket—high risk, high potential return, but there’s a high probability it will be a waste. If you really want to invest, remember three points:
Only use money you can afford to lose; don’t go all in.
Focus on actual progress (such as burn data and ecological applications), and don’t pay attention to shouting opinions.
Be prepared for zero, as this project has nearly gone to zero once in its history.
Personally, I think LUNC's story is very inspiring, but reality is very cruel. There might be short-term volatility opportunities, but the long-term survival challenges are huge. In the world of cryptocurrency, staying alive is more important than anything else.
