New week, new listings. Users can now trade our new XBT- and USDT-margined Terra Luna 2.0 contracts – all with up to 25x leverage.
LUNAUSD and LUNAUSDT went live on 2 June 2022 at 04:00 UTC. Read on to learn more about our new listings.
LUNAUSD Quanto Contract Specs
As with all quanto contracts, the LUNAUSD product has a fixed Bitcoin multiplier, regardless of the LUNA/USD price. This allows traders to long or short the LUNA/USD exchange rate without ever touching LUNA or USD.
Traders post margin in XBT, and earn or lose XBT as the LUNA/USD rate changes. This quanto risk premium may be one of the factors that results in the LUNAUSD swap trading at a premium/discount to the LUNAUSDT spot price. For an explanation of the same concept for ETHUSD, check out this blog post.

What is Terra Luna 2.0 (LUNA)?
Following the collapse of Terra Luna, protocol founder and CEO – Do Kwon – proposed a revival plan, which outlines the creation of a new Terra chain that won’t have an algorithmic stablecoin. The old chain will be called Terra Classic, and the old Luna token will carry the ticker LUNC. On 25 May 2022, Terra Classic users passed governance proposal 1623.
Alongside Do Kwon’s proposal to create a new Terra chain, Luna 2.0 – the token that fuels the new Terra blockchain – will replace the old Luna token. Luna 2.0 went live on May 28 2022, during the genesis block for the new Terra chain.
Following the inception of Luna 2.0 and the new Terra chain, Luna 2.0 was airdropped to LUNC token holders. The airdrop allocations are as follows:
- Community pool: 30%
- Pre-attack LUNA holders: 35%
- Pre-attack aUST holders: 10%
- Post-attack LUNA holders: 10%
- Post-attack UST holders: 15%
