The decision comes As LUNA, which had a market capitalization of over $40 billion a month ago, has recorded a significant loss of nearly $39 billion market cap in hours. The current market cap falls to $939M.

At press time, LUNA was changing hands at around $0.29 and ranked as the 67th largest cryptocurrency, with a market cap of $939M. Two days before, Luna was present in the top 10 cryptos but had fallen to 67th place in no time, causing deep concerns among investors.
