What is LUNA/USDT?

LUNA is the native token of the Terra blockchain, primarily used for paying network fees, participating in on-chain governance, and collateral lending. USDT (Tether) is a widely used stablecoin, pegged to the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio. The LUNA/USDT trading pair represents the real-time price of LUNA quoted in stable USDT and is one of the most active trading pairs on most exchanges.
It is worth noting that in 2022, due to the collapse of the algorithmic stablecoin UST and the Do Kwon (DK) incident, the price of LUNA once dropped to zero, sounding the alarm for investors about the risks.

As of May 28, 2025, the latest price of LUNA/USDT is approximately 0.1884 USDT, with a high of 0.1944 USDT and a low of 0.1842 USDT within the last 24 hours, and a trading volume exceeding 6.83M LUNA. Recently, LUNA has shown a slight upward trend driven by multiple positive news, such as the launch of Terra ecosystem projects and the addition of loan scenarios.

The main factors that affect the price

• Ecosystem Expansion: More decentralized finance (DeFi) projects adopting LUNA as collateral will increase its demand.
• The US Dollar and the Macroeconomic Environment: The monetary policy of the Federal Reserve and the trend of the US Dollar Index significantly influence the overall sentiment of the cryptocurrency market. When the dollar is weak, LUNA/USDT tends to rise.
• On-chain governance proposal: The voting results of the community on the proposal, which involves adjustments to the inflation rate, will also bring price fluctuations in the short term.

Risk Warning and Investment Advice

• High price volatility: LUNA is influenced by market sentiment, and its fluctuation range may far exceed that of traditional assets. It is recommended that novice investors allocate no more than 5% of their total assets.
• Platform security: Be sure to choose exchanges with a good reputation and strong compliance to avoid depositing large amounts of funds on unknown platforms.
• Take profit and stop loss: Do not have the mindset of “one investment with huge returns”; set reasonable take profit and stop loss levels, and strictly adhere to them.
