Terraform Labs, the company behind the infamous LUNA and TerraUSD collapse, has reached a massive $4.5 billion settlement with the SEC—marking one of the largest financial penalties in crypto history! 💥
Here’s the scoop:
💸 $3.5B in disgorgement
💰 $460M in prejudgment interest
⚖️ $420M civil penalty
Plus, former CEO Do Kwon will kick in $200M to the bankruptcy estate.
This all comes after the 2022 Terra/LUNA crash, which wiped out $40B in value, shaking the entire crypto market. TerraUSD, an algorithmic stablecoin, collapsed when its peg to the dollar broke, leaving investors in the dust.
❌ Kwon Barred from Public Company Leadership:
Alongside his financial contribution, Kwon is permanently banned from serving as an officer or director of any public company.
📝 What Does This Settlement Mean?
SEC Sends a Message: Fraud won’t go unpunished, and this deal aims to deter similar misconduct.

A Cautionary Tale: This case underscores the risks in algorithmic stablecoins and unregulated promises in the DeFi space.
