#LUNA
### **Why hasn't #LUNA reached its historical peak?**
1. **Collapse of Terra (UST & LUNA) in 2022**
- Lost trust after the collapse of **UST** (the associated stablecoin).
- The price of **LUNA Classic (LUNC)** dropped from **$120+ to less than $0.01**.
2. **Re-launch of the project as 'Terra 2.0' (the new LUNA)**
- Did not fully regain investor trust.
- Strong competition from other **Layer 1** projects (like Solana, Ethereum).
3. **Regulatory issues and legal risks**
- Investigation of **Do Kwon** (the founder) for financial fraud.
- Trading of **LUNA** banned on some exchanges.
4. **Lack of adoption and development compared to before**
- Decreased trading volume and projects built on Terra.
- Developers shifting to other networks.
### **Can LUNA rise again?**
- **Very difficult** due to bad reputation and fierce competition.
- Needs **radical reforms + institutional adoption + new trust**.
🚨 **Summary**: **LUNA is not like before**, and investors prefer safer projects.
