Terraform Labs seeks bankruptcy protection

Do Kwon trial postponed
Recently, a U.S. federal judge delayed the trial between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Terraform Labs and its founder Do Kwon. The SEC charged the company with allegedly committing a $40 billion cryptocurrency fraud. We will continue to monitor the progress of the case.
Looking back at the tragedy of 2022
In May 2022, Terraform Labs’ two cryptocurrencies, TerraUSD (UST) and Luna, caused volatility in the global cryptocurrency market. This incident also had a significant impact on FTX, but did not lead to its demise.
The SEC’s lawsuit is directly related to the TerraUSD collapse. The stablecoin failed to maintain its $1 value, causing closely related Luna to collapse as well. This failure resulted in huge losses of over $40 billion.
LUNA and other related tokens fell
Terraform Labs related tokens: LUNA, LUNC, USTC all fell by more than 5%:
