Within the proposal that Kwon references, a group member says that the transfer will in all probability put additional stress on LUNA within the close to future, however finally strengthen your entire system over the long run.
“Permit extra environment friendly UST burning and LUNA minting, will within the brief time period put stress to LUNA value, however shall be an efficient approach to deliver UST again to peg, which is able to finally stabilize LUNA value.
Sure, billion of UST shall be burned, and LUNA shall be diluted considerably. Nonetheless, there aren’t any limits in LUNA provide, this market mechanism will truly work to deliver steady UST and steady LUNA value (though doubtless at cheaper price level for LUNA).”
At time of writing, LUNA is buying and selling for $2.28.
