The Terra (LUNA) token and its stablecoin UST crashed down to the ground in a historic dump. Almost every big crypto trading exchange in the world delisted both the tokens from their platforms. LUNA lost 100% of its value in just 7 days. However, the latest price update of the token has raised some suspicion among investors.
