Amid the redline stretching across various crypto assets in the decentralized currency market, Terra Luna’s value increased by 4.31 percent to end trading at $45.80.

Terra’s market capitalization was estimated at $39.80 billion, compared to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, all of which were valued at $1.03 trillion, $479.20 billion, and $96.83 billion respectively.

Terra Luna is two tokens working side by side.

But Luna drives the value of Terra through the burning of the former by its users who are incentivized to take such action.

Terra is an open-source public blockchain protocol for algorithmic stable coins which is pegged to various fiat currencies such as Terra USD (US dollar) or Terra KRT (pegged to Korean Won). It also works in line with the basic market forces of supply and demand.
