Results aren’t living up to expectations for a quick recovery held by many of the investors who received new Luna tokens following last month’s collapse of the cryptocurrencies tied to the failed Terra blockchain.
The average price of the Luna 2.0 token has remained below $11 in the week since they were distributed by Terra, according to data complied by tracker Kaiko. Just a day before the TerraUSD (UST) stablecoin began to lose its 1-to-1 peg to the dollar on May 7, its affiliated token Luna was trading at about $86.
