The catastrophic collapse of Terraform Labs' ecosystem in May 2022 resulted in a staggering $40 billion loss, primarily due to the failure of its algorithmic stablecoin, TerraUSD (UST), and its sister token, LUNA. Do Kwon, co-founder of Terraform Labs, faces multiple criminal charges, including fraud, and has pleaded not guilty. His trial is set for January 26, 2026, amid ongoing legal battles and civil lawsuits, highlighting the vulnerabilities in the crypto market and the need for regulatory scrutiny.
