Luna Classic (LUNC), formerly Terra Luna (LUNA), was given a new name after a disastrous crash. After the collapse, Luna Classic news said the recovery procedure would be carried out to create a new chain supporting future transactions.

Terra Classic (LUNC) created the stablecoin TerraUSD by destroying LUNA with the help of smart contracts. 

TerraUSD's price was fixed to the US dollar for 18 months before being unpegged to retain its value against it.

This unpegging resulted in the death of TerraUSD and the LUNA coin. To validate transactions, the new LUNA will employ the Proof-of-Stake mechanism, which can also be used for passive revenue. The project has a total supply of 6.88 trillion coins, and the price reached an all-time high of $119.18 in April 2022.

## Luna Classic news and Do Kwon

In recent Luna Classic news, it was reported that South Korea was attempting to revoke Kwon's passport, which might compel him to return home. According to [Bloomberg's](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-06/crypto-fugitive-do-kwon-is-set-to-lose-his-south-korean-passport) Luna Classic news, a request has been made to the country's Foreign Ministry to cancel the travel passport. A warrant for his arrest and those of other members has already been issued.

According to Yonhap News, Seoul Southern District Court Chief Warrant Judge Hong Jin-Pyo has cancelled the arrest warrant for Terraform Labs co-founder Shin Hyun-Seong and other Kwon partners. The judge found "minimal chance" that Shin or Terra associates would destroy evidence connected to the crypto firm's claims.

The announcement is a relief to Terra Luna Classic investors, who had been worried about the implications of the arrest warrants on the cryptocurrency corporation and its price.

According to the report, Terra co-founder Do Kwon is unlikely to return to South Korea due to ongoing legal processes.

Even though many [cryptocurrency](/news/article/cryptocurrency-crash) investors blame Kwon for their losses and the current bear market, he has remained socially engaged after Terra's collapse. In September, the Terra co-founder declared that he was "making zero attempts to hide" from the police.

He even participated in a live webcast with the infamous hedge fund manager and pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli. They discussed FTX and Shkreli's time in prison.

[Terra Classic (LUNC)](/news/article/terra-luna-classic) had a modest price boost due to this being regarded as a good occurrence for LUNC investors.

## Price analysis

The LUNA Classic (LUNC) price has increased in the previous 24 hours. During that period, the altcoin's price increased by 0.47%. Much of the weekly gains have been erased due to daily chart losses.

With the demise of [FTX](/news/article/ftx-uk-warning), LUNC has been teetering on the brink of a negative trend for some time. The coin lost more than 10% of its market value in November. LUNC is currently displaying consolidation beneath its immediate resistance mark.

There is a new update on the development front - the first look at TerraDart's new Alpha bundle. TerraDart is a Dart SDK used for developing applications that connect with the Terra blockchain, which has released a new package named Alpha. The Alpha package has been made available in Flutter and Dart environments to interface with the LUNC blockchain.

## LUNC's 2025 forecast

According to Telegaon, the lowest and maximum LUNC pricing in 2025 will be $0.0089 and $0.028, respectively.

Other analysts believe that LUNC's average price in the coming year will be $0.015, based on its recent performance.

Coinpedia, on the other hand, is less hopeful about the future of Luna Classic. In 2025, LUNC is expected to trade at a high of $0.002846 and a low of $0.001094. It will cost $0.001776 on average in that year.

## LUNC's 2030 forecast

Telegaon remains confident about the prospects of LUNC in 2030 as well. It forecasted that LUNC would trade as high as $5.23 and as low as $1.93 in 2030, with an average price of $3.11.

LUNC's price, on the other hand, is expected to oscillate between $0.002603 and $0.002834 in 2030, according to Bitcoin Wisdom. According to the forecast, its average price in the given year will be $0.002719.

## Technical analysis

In November, the coin demonstrated a positive divergence, following which the price of LUNC increased somewhat. 

Despite this, the bulls were unable to increase their strength. The Relative Strength Index was nearing 40, indicating that the coin was approaching the oversold zone.

Likewise, the LUNC price was lower than the 20-Simple Moving Average line, indicating a lack of demand. The reading also suggests that sellers were driving the market's price momentum.

The Chaikin Money Flow model represents capital inflows and outflows at a certain time. The indicator was below the half-line, indicating that capital inflows were modest. Regarding purchasing power, capital inflows have also decreased due to a lack of investor interest.

The Directional Movement Index displays the asset's overall price direction and trend. DMI was negative because the -DI (orange) line was higher than the +DI (blue). The Average Directional Index (red) was below 25, suggesting that the present price movement is losing strength.

LUNC is now selling at a price 100% lower than its all-time high, set around nine months ago.

## Conclusion

When making a LUNC coin price forecast, consider that cryptocurrency markets are still very volatile. This makes it impossible to precisely anticipate a coin's price in a few hours and even more challenging to make long-term predictions. As a result, analysts and algorithm-based forecasters can and do make incorrect forecasts.

If you are considering investing in crypto, we urge you to do your own research first. Before making any investment choice, consider the most recent market trends, news, technical and fundamental analysis, and expert opinion. 

Remember that previous success is not an assurance of future results. Only trade with funds you can afford to lose.

Luna Classic News: What's the Future?

Bloktopia is a decentralised Metaverse that provides an unprecedented VR experience for the crypto community.

It brings users together in one immersive and engaging environment. [Bloktopia](https://www.bloktopia.com/) is built and backed by Polygon.

Bloktopians are those who own tokens. It is a 21-story skyscraper built to honour the 21 million Bitcoins. It serves as a primary focus for all levels of crypto expertise. For the first time, consumers can obtain crypto knowledge and immersive multimedia in one location. 

## Bloktopia's ecosystem

The ecosystem of Blocktopia is primarily made up of $BLOK, the Metaverse's native currency. Players can use $BLOK to acquire land assets and advertisement rights, granting users ownership of $REBLOK and $ADBLOK tokens.

## $BLOK

$BLOK is an ERC-20 token and Bloktopia's native cryptocurrency, with a maximum supply of 199.87 billion tokens. Only 15% of the fungible tokens are now in circulation, but this figure will likely climb by the end of the year's fourth quarter.

$BLOK serves as the Metaverse's utility token and will be required for various in-game functions. $BLOK tokens are needed for everything from purchasing NFTs from vendors on the floor to attending elite clubs. Similarly, purchasing land from portals requires users to spend $BLOK tokens to transfer ownership of a specific land tract.

The $BLOK coin can be purchased via various [cryptocurrency exchanges](/news/article/huobi-exchange-who-owns-it), including QuickSwap, KuCoin, Hotbit, and many others. 

## $REBLOK

The purchase of real estate in Bloktopia is known as Reblok. 

Following the BLOK token distribution event, Bloktopians can purchase real estate (TGE). Bloktopians can speculate on the property and either resell for a profit or lease it for passive income prospects because real estate will be a valued commodity within Bloktopia.

## $ADBLOK

Bloktopia takes advantage of emerging technology and the notion of [virtual](/news/article/nft-land) land to allow prominent companies to market their products in front of a large audience. Advertising for large brands worldwide will earn significant cash within the Metaverse, and $REBLOK owners are urged to lend digital screens for advertising reasons.

Users can purchase $ADBLOK to receive a portion of the revenue generated by advertising. Bloktopia will collaborate with tier-1 brands to publicise their content. Any income earned by advertising for these brands will be shared with $ADBLOK holders.

## How to earn with Bloktopia

The Metaverse aims to allow its members to use their creative abilities and innovative approaches to entertain others while offering avenues for monetary gain. Fortunately, Bloktopia provides attractive chances for its members to use and earn real-world money while contributing to the massive market cap.

## Play-to-earn games

Bloktopia has a wealth of [play-to-earn](/news/article/best-farm-games-2022) (P2E) games that allow players to earn money from the Metaverse through in-game prizes. Players can earn valuable rewards through fungible and non-fungible tokens by engaging in gameplay and accomplishing various tasks and objectives throughout the central hub.

## Virtual enterprise

The 21-story skyscraper allows interested people to own a shop on any level and provide unique services. Landowners can use the space to start virtual enterprises selling [NFTs](/news/article/moonray-nft-gaming-platform) and other in-demand services. Significant brands are opening virtual stores in the Metaverse to display brand messaging and promotions and sell branded NFTs on the marketplace.

## ADBLOK purchase

Bloktopians can earn passive income through advertising revenue sharing by purchasing ADBLOK tokens using the native NFT gateway. The developers will share the cash made by displaying adverts on numerous ad screens across the Metaverse if they purchase ADBLOK. The more impressions an advertisement receives, the more revenue is made.

## Team

Bloktopia is powered by [Polygon](/news/article/moonray-nft-gaming-platform), with Animoca Brands, Magnus Capital, Jake Paul, and BullPerks as critical partners.

Ross Tavakoli is the project's founder. His extensive knowledge in the crypto sector and retail investment gave him an advantage in the nascent market, as did his vision for Bloktopia.

Paddy Carrol is a co-founder, and his marketing knowledge makes him an asset to the Bloktopia team.

Libby Rothwell, the commercial director in charge of developing commercial relationships, and Simon Benson, the project's technical lead, also offered their talents and time to the project.

## Current price

The current price of $BLOK is US$0.002267, with a 24-hour trading volume of $591,983. The circulating supply of $BLOK is 17.54bn $BLOK, with a maximum supply of 199.87bn. It has gained 0.21% in the previous 24 hours. It is now -2.83% off its seven-day high of $0.002333 and 5.82% off its seven-day low of $0.002142.

## Conclusion

It is early days, but with each project update, more content and in-game settings are introduced, making the Metaverse more enjoyable. Bloktopia is now one of the most popular live Metaverses built on cryptocurrency, with many active users.

Bloktopia Metaverse- A Guide

The Sandbox is a widespread metaverse with its native token, SAND. This article shares the price analysis of the trading pair SAND-GBP.

The Sandbox is the third-largest Ethereum blockchain-based metaverse. Users can create, share, and monetize assets (such as real estate) and gaming experiences. In the virtual world, people can own assets, play, build, and own their properties and in-game purchases. Furthermore, they can sell such assets for real-world money.

Gamers' rights in traditional games are restricted. While powerful virtual gaming is not new, it allows players to monetize and own their creations. This is why Pixowl, a game development company, created it to revolutionise the traditional gaming market.

In addition to the blockchain, The [Sandbox](/news/article/the-sandbox-game-wedding) uses the potential of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to allow people to interact with the virtual world. NFTs provide users with characteristics such as scarcity, security, and authenticity.

## Products offered

While the Sandbox is not the only [Metaverse](/news/article/how-to-invest-in-metaverse) offering, it is unique in its product portfolio breadth. It consists of three products that provide gamers with a comprehensive experience:

•	VoxEdit: It is a programme allowing users to create and animate 3D objects. These objects are known as assets and adhere to the ERC-1155 token standard. With a single, smart contract, this standard enables the minting of fungible and non-fungible objects. Non-fungible tokens are unique, whereas fungible objects are not and can be traded for another asset.

•	The Sandbox Game Market: It allows users to create free 3D games.

•	The [Sandbox](/news/article/the-sandbox-game-wedding) Marketplace: allows users to sell their assets (after uploading them on an interplanetary file system – a protocol used for storing and sharing any files).

These three products, when combined, benefit gamers by granting them ownership of their content. Pixowl accomplishes this through the use of blockchain and smart contracts.

## SAND GBP price analysis

The Sandbox has a current market cap of 760.108M. The token's total supply is three billion, and the current circulating supply is 1.50B tokens. The total volume is 124,425,944, and the 24-hour volume is 125.24M. The current price of the trading pair SAND GBP is 0.5081, which is 2.3295% up from the previous day. It has been trading between 0.494486 and 0.507720 in a 24-hour time range. Also, in the period of 52 weeks, it has been trading between 0.468573 to 6.325037.

[Gov Capital](https://gov.capital/crypto/the-sandbox/) predicted that the SAND token would end the year at slightly less than 3.59GBP. The site then predicted that it would fall to just under 3.42GBP by 27 September, 2023, before potentially falling to just under 8.39GBP per year after that.

## Bottom line  

When making a SAND GBP token price prediction, remember that cryptocurrency markets are still highly volatile, making it hard to accurately predict a coin or token's price in a few hours and even more challenging to make long-term predictions. As a result, analysts and algorithm-based forecasters can and do make incorrect predictions.

If you are thinking about investing in crypto, we recommend doing your own research first. Before making any investment decision, consider the most recent market trends, news, technical and fundamental analysis, and expert opinion. Remember that past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Furthermore, only trade with money you can afford to lose.

SAND GBP Price Analysis

France is under pressure to fix a loophole in upcoming crypto legislation that would give an extended grace period to encourage digital asset businesses to set up shop in the nation with less regulatory monitoring.

Hervé Maurey, a member of the Senate's key finance committee, has offered an amendment to legislation that would remove a provision allowing registered crypto firms to operate in the country without a complete regulatory licence until 2026.

His action puts more pressure on the French Government and regulators over the country's crypto-friendly posture. More rigid EU standards will take effect in 2024, but France plans to keep its existing framework in place for another 18 months.

Critics' fears have grown this year as the values of popular tokens have plummeted, worsened by the collapse of  [Sam Bankman Fried's cryptocurrency enterprise, FTX,](/news/article/ftx-boss-denied-bail-in-bahamas) last month. On Tuesday, US authorities charged Bankman-Fried with crimes, including fraud.

## France crypto position

France has attempted to position itself as one of the most appealing nations for crypto businesses to set up their office, bringing companies such as exchange operator Binance to Paris.

The existing approach permits crypto firms to register in the country without obtaining a full licence, allowing them to operate with limited oversight.

## France crypto firms need to get a licence from regulator

Hervé Maurey’s plan would require corporations to get a licence from the French regulator, the [Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF)](https://www.amf-france.org/en), beginning in October next year. Licencing, as opposed to registration, protects consumers and forces corporations to reveal more information about their financial health and control mechanisms. There are more than 50 cryptocurrency firms registered, but none have been awarded a licence.

According to critics, the France crypto existing setup may lead customers to believe regulators actively control crypto enterprises. "The safety afforded by this registration is deficient, if not non-existent," said Thierry Philipponnat, a former AMF board member who left in October.

The Senate approved the proposal on Tuesday. It will be considered by France's parliament in January next year. So far, the French Government has resisted the document, claiming that hastening regulatory requirements could scare away investors.

According to France's Adan, the proposed revisions indicate that the country is "renouncing its desire" to become a crypto centre, and the government is "abandoning an industry of the future" as a result of [FTX's](/news/article/former-ftx-ceo-sbf-arrested) failure.

France Crypto Rules Under Pressure

Following Portugal's footsteps, another European government is poised to tighten [crypto laws](/news/article/fatf-crypto-laws) and expand taxes on transactions related to cryptocurrencies. A proposal in Italy's budget plan for 2023 wants to levy a startling 26% tax on capital profits obtained from cryptocurrency trading.

However, this tax bracket will apply if the cryptocurrency profits exceed 2,000 euros ($2,062.3). The Italian authorities regard cryptocurrencies and tokens as foreign currencies.

The bill proposed by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's cabinet also allows taxpayers to declare the worth of their assets as of 1 January, 2023, and pay a 14% tax. The goal is to encourage Italians to register their digital asset ownership in their tax forms. 

The proposed legislation, which may be changed in parliament, contains transparency requirements and extends stamp duty to cryptocurrency intermediary fees and a 4% taxation on free cryptocurrency transfers in the case of an inheritance.

The new laws follow after a lengthy drop in digital asset prices, which has resulted in the demise of several prominent cryptocurrency platforms. The current spate of bankruptcies and spectacular collapses, like the recent meltdown of the [exchange FTX](/news/article/ftx-bankrupt-who-to-blame), has prompted regulators worldwide to increase their examination of the young asset class.

## Crypto Taxes Italy and Europe

The current plans in Italy come as [Portugal](/news/article/potugal-crypto-tax), Europe's most crypto-friendly location, announced identical plans to tax cryptocurrency gains. Portugal said in October 2022 that it intends to slap a massive 28% tax on short-term gains on digital assets.

As of now, digital assets are owned by 2.3% of Italy's total population of 1.3 million people. Crypto usage is lower than in other countries, such as France (3.3%) and the United Kingdom (less than 5%). With such high crypto taxes Italy may dissuade other participants from entering the crypto industry.

Many prominent cryptocurrency exchanges have been expanding into Italy, claiming significant economic opportunities. The Italian government approved establishing Binance's facility earlier this year. Nexo and [Gemini](https://www.gemini.com/) have also been allowed to register with an Italian authority. As a result, they will be able to service Italian crypto enthusiasts.
