The US Securities and Exchange Commission accused crypto entrepreneur Do Kwon and the firm he co-founded of a fraud involving the failed TerraUSD stablecoin.
The SEC alleged in federal court on Thursday that Terraform Labs and Kwon offered and sold unregistered securities, including the stablecoin, and carried out a scheme that wiped out at least $40 billion worth of market value. The case marks a significant escalation in the SEC’s crackdown on the crypto industry.
