Welcome to our recap of the major stories in the crypto world! Here’s what has happened over the past week:
Terra 2.0 airdrop commences
The new LUNA token has arrived, and most investors seemed to dump the token after they received their airdrop.
With the new LUNA variant tanking more than 69% since its launch on May 28, investors are waiting to see what happens once Binance starts its multi-year airdrop plan on May 31. https://t.co/xCu7OHTHgc
— Cointelegraph (@Cointelegraph) May 30, 2022
So far, only 30% of the entire supply has been distributed to every wallet.
The remaining 70% of the new LUNA tokens will be distributed between November 2022 and November 2024.
There is a 6 month cliff period (May — November) before the new tokens are vested, which follows the same cliff and vesting schedule as some of the projects on our launchpad, KrystalGO.
Most of the prominent centralised exchanges have already listed this token.
It may be quite confusing as some exchanges list the new token as LUNA2, while others list it as LUNA.
Binance listed the new LUNA token under the ‘Innovation Zone’, where users will need to read Binance’s Terms of Use and complete a questionnaire before they can trade this token.
#Binance will list Terra 2.0 $LUNA in the Innovation Zone and will open trading for LUNA/USDT and LUNA/BUSD trading pairs at 6am UTC on May 31.

You can qualify for this token airdrop if you meet certain criteria, such as:
- Early adopters of Optimism
- Active Ethereum governance participation
To find out if you qualify for this airdrop, you can connect your wallet to the Optimism website.
While we do not support Optimism on our platform, we have other Layer 2 networks such as Polygon and Arbitrum.
Singapore’s stance on crypto
At the Asia Tech x Singapore 2022 Summit, Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat mentioned that retail investors should “steer clear of cryptocurrencies” as they are extremely risky.

While Singapore is working with blockchain and digital asset players to encourage innovation, the stance is rather clear on retail investing in such assets.
Interestingly enough, in a social media post by the Central Provident Fund (CPF) in Singapore, they were seen to accept NFTs as part of a diversified investment portfolio.
