    Luna is actually a utility token that powers the Terra blockchain. It is used for various functions within the ecosystem, such as staking, governance, and transaction fees. Unlike stablecoins, Luna's value is not pegged to any specific asset or currency.

    Luna is definitely a utility token. It serves as the native currency of the Terra blockchain and is essential for maintaining the network's operations. It has utility beyond just being a stablecoin, as it enables users to participate in the governance of the ecosystem and earn rewards through staking.

    Luna is primarily a utility token, but it does have some stablecoin-like characteristics. While its value is not pegged to any specific asset, it does play a role in stabilizing the Terra ecosystem through its algorithmic monetary policy. This unique combination of utility and stability sets Luna apart from traditional stablecoins.
