A Terra Classic community member with the X handle Rexyz has kicked against burning USTC tokens to enable the stablecoin to recover its dollar peg.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the X post made on September 18<\/a>, Rexyz outlines an alternative solution that may lead to USTC being re-valued $1 as well as push Terra Classic (LUNC) price to reach the $1 price mark.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the collapse of the Terra ecosystem in 2022, the USTC stablecoin has lost its dollar peg and now trades at 98.8% below the $1 mark.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Following this catastrophic event, members of the Terra Class community have continued to submit various proposals<\/a> to burn more USTC contains as a deflationary mechanism that could result in the stablecoin recovering its dollar peg.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, the Terra Classic community is voting on a proposal<\/a> that aims to direct the Binance exchange to start burning 50% of USTC every month. It is believed that if the world’s biggest exchange aids in reducing the circulating supply of USTC, it could significantly boost the token\u2019s rise to $1.<\/span><\/p>\n
