USTC saw an impressive rise this week, driven by two major catalysts: a newly introduced Binance perpetuals contract listing and the unveiling of a bitcoin-focused makeover along with an enticing airdrop initiative.
It is striking that the value of TerraClassicUSD has almost quadrupled during this period. However, it is essential to put this increase in context because even with the substantial rally, USTC’s price has only reached $0.05, a stark contrast from its initially pegged value of $1.

The value of the coin has increased significantly over the past day. Coingecko statistics show that the USTC has risen by as much as 32% to $0.05 in the past day. Even more amazing is cryptocurrency achieved an impressive 335% during the past seven days. During the specified period, trading volume increased by 2,284%, exchanging $1.21 billion.
Between November 25 and 27, the crypto rose more than 400% before falling to $0.04. USTC has since risen +71% to current levels.
A significant increase in trading volume in the hours leading up to Terra Luna Classic (LUNC)’s listing on Binance Futures earlier this week helped the cryptocurrency.

Now that Binance has announced that USTC will have more trading pairs available on the spot market, the buying pressure is still there. The Turkish Lira (TRY) and First Digital USD (FDUSD), two more stablecoins, are now immediately tradable at USTC with fiat money.
Additionally, the development team announced a few days ago that they are developing an airdrop strategy for LUNC and USTC holders.

The token has become the subject of a speculative frenzy due to recent developments. According to data from CoinGecko, trading volume with USTC has increased dramatically in recent days, peaking at more than $1 billion in 24-hour activity, dwarfing the average of less than $10 million earlier this month.
The influence of Binance perpetual contract and social media buzz
USTC has risen sharply since the weekend. The price started to rise on November 25, not long after what appeared to be a golden cross on the chart. Strong price gains followed, with USTC reaching a high of $0.075 during today’s trading session.

There is no denying that the euphoria surrounding Binance’s introduction of a perpetual contract contributed to the rise of the USTC coin.
Social media has also played a big role in making this excitement even bigger. It has created a wave of interest and energy that has placed USTC at the top of the crypto market.
