Why The Price Upswing?

The price upswing witnessed by USTC is primarily attributed to the recent proposal of burning 800 million USTC tokens via Lunanauts, Terra Classic Luna validators. This comes as an effort by the Terra community to build further support for their token, as the price dropped significantly recently.

In addition, another chronicle appears to have bolstered the price pump witnessed by the Terra Classic tokens.
