We have compiled for you the developments in nine cryptocurrencies in the world of Bitcoin and altcoins. Let’s look at the details.
Altcoin LUNC burning activity continues
Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, has taken an important step. Accordingly, in the 12th batch of the LUNC burn mechanism, 1.41 billion Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) tokens were burned.

With the last burn, the total LUNC burned by the crypto exchange reached approximately 37 billion. On the other hand, the total number of LUNC tokens burned by the community has exceeded 71.5 billion.
Different approach from judge in Rippe case
US District Judge Jed Rakoff made a surprising change in the altcoin Ripple-SEC case. Accordingly, the Judge rejected an important aspect of Analisa Torres’ decision. US District Judge Jed Rakoff, who is hearing the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit against Terraform Labs, rejected an approach used in the SEC’s ruling last month in its lawsuit against Ripple Labs.

This decision contrasts with the decision by US District Judge Analisa Torres in the Ripple case, where a significant distinction was made based on how the tokens were sold. Accordingly, according to the summary of the Ripple decision, coins sold directly to institutional investors were considered securities. However, those sold to individual investors through secondary market transactions were not considered securities. Judge Rakoff, on the other hand, prefers not to distinguish cryptocurrencies by how they are sold.
Significant development for the altcoin Shiba Inu ecosystem
Shiba Inu’s leader, Shytoshi Kusama, is on stage again. He recently announced a very important development for the SHIB ecosystem. Kusama features a move aimed at solidifying the operations of the upcoming Layer 2 blockchain Shibarium. Accordingly, he announced that they will print the remaining BONE token supply, and then the altcoin BONE contract will be terminated.

This strategic maneuver is necessary to bring Shibarium to life. Because some of the altcoin BONE will be allocated to validators, the first major role in the emerging blockchain system.
Ripple hires new lawyer for lawsuit
American blockchain payments firm Ripple has hired a new attorney in its legal battle with the SEC. Accordingly, the lawyer who will make the defense is Douglas S. Zolkind. Having a strong career, Zolkind is currently working as a partner at Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, focusing on corporate criminal defense.

Zolkind is seen as the right person for Ripple as he has an extensive career as a United States attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) and serves as a senior member of the Criminal Division’s Public Corruption Unit.
Call for participation from Cardano
The Cardano protocol has been doing steady work with Input Output Hong Kong (IOHK), the start-up behind the blockchain, on its development efforts, calling for more direct participation from the public. Making a statement on its official Twitter page, IOHK said that he wanted the community to help review the Project Catalyst experiment.
The first stage of the #ProjectCatalyst community review for level 0 and level 1 community reviewers will be coming to a close this Thursday, August 3rd, at 11am UTC.

Litecoin is experiencing a boom in network fundamentals ahead of the halving, which is less than 24 hours away. The sensitivity of the mining community is measured by two indicators. Hashrate and difficulty. Since the beginning of 2023, the LTC hashrate has been constantly increasing.

Looking at cryptokoin.com, according to a Litecoin Foundation post, the LTC hashrate is currently 869.9 TH/s and the difficulty rating is 25.64 million. This hashrate increase indicates that more miners are joining the altcoin LTC community, making the network safer and more reliable.

CRV move from Tron CEO
An important move came from Justin Sun, founder of altcoin TRX and CEO of BitTorrent (BTT). Accordingly, he made moves to “buy the decline”. He also became one of those who decided to take advantage of the painful drop in Curve Finance (CRV) price.
Amidst the #DeFi turmoil, a surprising twist emerges! @justinsuntron acquires 5M CRV from @newmichwill on OTC at $0.4/CRV, securing a remarkable ~20% discount. Also, @Rewkang tweeted his support for Curve, sharing his $CRV trade. The DeFi saga continues! pic.twitter.com/If7z9Jae6E

Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, made an important decision. Curve Finance (CRV) bought five million CRV tokens from founder Michael Egorov. Sun bought this huge share via the “over-the-counter” platform at $0.4 per token.
Altcoin CYBER launches airdrop
CyberConnect is a web3 social network that aims to revolutionize social media platforms. Together with Sei Network (SEI), Binance has reached an important milestone as the 37th project in Launchpool. As part of the Launchpool integration, CyberConnect has launched an airdrop program. Accordingly, this airdrop has received a lot of attention from the crypto community.

CyberConnect’s mission is to use web3 technology. It is also empowering users by giving them full control over their digital identity and content. The platform aims to foster innovation by leveraging blockchain. On the other hand, it aims to provide a decentralized, community-oriented alternative to traditional social networks.
Important move from MATIC
Altcoin Polygon (MATIC) team is adding more and more use cases to its portfolio of “real world” applications of blockchain technology. The government of Maharashtra, the second most populous state in India, uses Polygon (MATIC) to issue verifiable caste certificates to its citizens.

Employers in the state of Karnataka have already started using such certificates for transparent and streamlined verification of people’s identities. In modern India, caste certificates are official documents that certify an individual’s caste or community.
