The Investment: Supposing an investor had purchased Terra (LUNA) with three of their stimulus checks valued at $1,200, $600, and $1,400 respectively on April 11, 2020, Dec. 29, 2020, and March 12, 2021, here’s how much they would have at press time when the coin traded at $94.82.

Date Of Purchase Stimulus Amount Purchase Price Coins Obtained Current Worth Percentage Change
April 11, 2020 $1200 $0.19 6465.517 $613,060 50988%
Dec 29, 2020 $600 $0.648 925.926 $87,796 14533%

Why Luna Is Rising: Notably, LUNA hit an all-time high of $104.58 on Wednesday. At press time, it traded almost 9.1% below that level. Since the year began, LUNA has shot up 6.2%. Comparatively Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) — the top two cryptocurrencies by market cap — have declined 14.35% and 29.3%, respectively, in a similar period.

Terra’s network consists of two tokens, a stablecoin called TerraUSD (UST), which tracks the price of the dollar and LUNA. UST is underpinned by a mechanism that involves burning LUNA.

The rise in LUNA comes at a time when it has registered a growth in its ecosystem. Over the past 30 days alone TerraSwap, a leading decentralized exchange of Terra, witnessed over $1.45 billion of UST traded.
