The post Here’s Why the Terra Classic Price Has Tanked 15% In a Day But This Penny Crypto Has Hit $3.8m appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Terra Classic (LUNC) has endured a significant 15% selloff from $0.000096 yesterday to $0.000081. While this has acted as a correction after a strong pump, other cryptos that experienced similar gains have not seen such volatile pullbacks.
Meanwhile, promising penny crypto Bitcoin Minetrix ($BTCMTX) hits $3.8 million in its presale, with investors drawn by its cutting-edge Bitcoin mining use case.
Terra Classic Pullback After Trading Volume Plunges
Terra Classic enjoyed several bullish events last week, which enabled its price to spike from $0.000065 to $0.000095 within five days.
One of the events that caused the uptick was a Binance announcement that would require users to hold more LUNC in their accounts before being able to margin trade.
Meanwhile, the community passed a proposal to disable the minting of USTC, the algorithmic stablecoin that Terra Classic has been attempting to repeg since Luna’s crash in 2022.
Community members took to X to discuss the approval, with one commentator calling it a “Step in the right direction.”
The third bullish driver was the broader market’s strong performance, with Bitcoin surpassing $37K and ETH passing $2K. This injected significant euphoria into the market, compelling traders to buy smaller-cap projects like LUNC for more upside potential.
However, many cryptos have found resistance over the past 24 hours; this stalled the LUNC momentum, causing a strong selloff.
As seen on the Terra Classic price chart below, it enjoyed a tremendous spike in trading volume on Saturday as market conditions turned bullish. Still, the subsequent cooling-off period has seen its volume decrease drastically.
This indicates buyers may have become fearful as the broader market slowed, likely due to Terra Classic’s poor price track record.
The project is down -100% from its all-time high and -56% in the last year, while many other cryptos are up 100% or higher this year. This makes Terra Classic a prime candidate to plunge amidst unfavorable market conditions, explaining the sudden drop in price and volume when the market stopped pumping.
Additionally, the bullish Binance announcement and governance approval could have acted as a “sell the news” event, providing liquidity for earlier buyers to lock in profits while sentiment is high.
Despite uncertainty on Luna Classic, market participants are displaying much higher conviction in the new project Bitcoin Minetrix, which is experiencing success in its presale.
Stake-to-Mine Bitcoin Minetrix Presale Surges Past $3.8M – LUNC Alternative?
Bitcoin Minetrix is a revolutionary new cryptocurrency enabling users to mine Bitcoin by staking $BTCMTX tokens on its Ethereum-based platform.
The project is currently undergoing a presale, which has raised $3.8 million in six weeks, attesting to its pioneering use case and significant community interest.
In a nutshell, Bitcoin Minetrix simplifies and decentralizes Bitcoin mining by making it accessible to everyone. Historically, it has been inaccessible for the average crypto user due to its expensive hardware, technical expertise, and overhead cost requirements.
However, Bitcoin Minetrix’s cloud mining solution aims at mass adoption, with users only requiring an Ethereum-compatible wallet (like MetaMask) and $BTCMTX tokens.
Users get started by staking $BTCMTX in exchange for Bitcoin mining credits, which they can burn on the platform for cloud mining power. This will then earn them free Bitcoin.
As well as simplifying the Bitcoin mining process, the decentralized $BTCMTX token eradicates the risk of cloud mining scams, which have become a prevalent issue in the industry.
With this in mind, Bitcoin Minetrix looks primed to explode after its IEO. However, the project is now available at a discounted presale rate.
Its current price is $0.0115, but buyers must be fast as it will incrementally rise throughout the presale.
