The Sleeping Giant in Crypto: Why LUNA's Under the Radar

Terra’s LUNA sits at 9th largest market cap ($30B) yet barely registers in the US crypto conversation—mostly because it absolutely dominates Asia-Pacific first.

But here’s what’s wild: wallet addresses exploded from 900K (end 2021) to 3.5M. That’s not hype, that’s actual traction.

Speed Matters

While everyone flexes their chain, LUNA’s doing 4,000-7,000 TPS with a 10,000 TPS ceiling—10x faster than ETH’s 20 TPS. Daily volume sits at $3.1B (ADA’s at $900M, SOL at $1.5B for reference).

The Bitcoin Angle

Here’s the difference: LUNA’s stablecoins aren’t backed by dollars sitting in some bank vault. They’re backed by $3B in Bitcoin (targeting $10B), anchored on-chain. No central authority. That’s not just different—it’s architecturally superior to traditional stablecoins.

220K global stakers = serious commitment, not just retail noise.

TLDR: The project has utility, the network has capacity, and it’s finally getting US eyes on it. Not a pump-and-dump play—this one’s actually built to move money.
