🔺A report issued by the Ch,,ainal,ysis company warns of the increasing risks related to #العملات_المستقرة , both centralized and decentralized. The main risks include flaws in smart contracts, oracle manipulation, custody risks, and attacks such as flash loans and phishing. Centralized stablecoins like #USDT and $USDC provide regulatory certainty but rely on trust in the source. Decentralized currencies, such as USDe and #USDS , face more complex technical risks. The collapse of #TerraUSD is an example of the systemic impact that can result from failures in these structures. Progress in regulation makes it essential to understand these risks to protect the ecosystem.

Ark Invest Offloads $51M in Circle Shares Amid Soaring Valuation
Key Highlights:
* Ark Invest sold 342,658 Circle (CRCL) shares worth $51.7M on June 16.
* Circle stock surged nearly 400% post-IPO, reaching over $150 per share.
* Arthur Hayes warns of a potential stablecoin bubble fueled by hype.
Ark Invest, led by Cathie Wood, has trimmed its exposure to Circle Internet Group, the issuer of $USDC , following a meteoric post-IPO rally. The firm sold over $51 million worth of CRCL shares across three of its ETFs, citing valuation concerns as the stock climbed nearly 400% since its debut.
Circle’s Meteoric Rise
Circle’s IPO success has drawn massive investor interest, pushing its valuation to around $36 billion. The company’s dominant role in the stablecoin market—$USDC being the second-largest stablecoin—has fueled optimism, especially amid growing regulatory focus on digital dollar assets.
Skepticism from Industry Veterans
Despite the bullish momentum, some experts are sounding alarms. Arthur Hayes, CIO at Maelstrom, called Circle “grossly overvalued” and warned that the hype could trigger a wave of unstable copycat projects. He likened the current excitement to the prelude of the TerraUSD collapse.
The stablecoin sector may be booming—but not everyone’s buying the narrative.

The next unicorn and #LifeChangingInvestments ?
The next asset in the crosshairs is $USTC
The scandal with #TerraUSD #TerraLabs has been ongoing for several years, but their devalued stablecoin is still on the market. The idea lacks strong fundamental reasons, so the risk should not exceed the amount of a painless loss for you.
The main idea is just a fantasy on the theme of "what if this giant gets bought out and the value of the stablecoin is restored to $1?"
In such a scenario, you have a buffer of nearly 7500%, but also a more conservative target of a 450% price movement. Almost 80R/R at the finish line.
Don't forget about the worst-case scenario of -100%, where you simply lose your funds.
So no margin and leverage, only spot and only for an amount of painless loss.
I would be interested to read your thoughts on such ideas in the comments, and I, in turn, support all my ideas with my own funds.

LUNA INVESTOR? Do Kwon’s Extradition Appeal Rejected
Do Kwon’s Extradition Appeal Rejected: What’s Next?
Montenegro’s Constitutional Court has rejected Do Kwon’s appeal against his extradition, paving the way for his transfer to either the US or South Korea. Here’s what you need to know:
Key Points:
1. Appeal Rejected:
The court unanimously dismissed Kwon’s appeal, citing legal flaws.
This upholds a previous ruling supporting extradition.
2. Extradition Likely to the US:
The final decision rests with Montenegro’s justice minister.
Reports suggest the US is the favored destination, reflecting the ministry’s position.
3. Terraform’s $40 Billion Collapse:
In May 2022, the crash of #TerraUSD and Luna coins wiped out $40 billion.
It sparked the infamous 2022 "crypto winter," exposing flaws in platforms like #FTX and Celsius.
4. Global Ripple Effect:
Kwon’s arrest in 2023 with a fake passport highlights rising cross-border action on crypto crimes.
The case could set a global precedent for regulation.
Financial Fallout & Political Ties
Terraform Labs settled with the SEC for $4.47 billion in June 2024, with Kwon personally fined over $200 million.
Allegations of Kwon’s political connections in Montenegro, particularly support for the Europe Now party, have stirred controversy.
What’s Next?
The decision now lies with Montenegro’s justice minister. Whether extradited to the US or South Korea, Kwon’s case underscores the growing demand for accountability in crypto.
$LUNA
My Insights
If you were an investor in the previous Bull Run cycle you already know what I'm talking about, but for new Investors and Traders, be a little cautious of projects like these and people behind them.
For example: The Indian Crypto Exchange WazirX, I did warn a few about the cold relationship of Binance with Wazirx and made sure the ones who listened either swap them for other tokens like #BasicAttentionToken . And exactly after a very few weeks Binance announcement of delisting WRX Token happened.

#DoKwon , the co-founder of #TerraformLabs , has been extradited from Montenegro to the United States to face fraud charges. Accused of orchestrating schemes to mislead investors, he allegedly inflated the value of Terraform's cryptocurrencies through manipulation and misrepresentations, causing over $40 billion in losses after the crash of #TerraUSD and #LUNA✅ in May 2022. The charges include commodities fraud, securities fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering, carrying a maximum sentence of 130 years. Kwon allegedly laundered proceeds, misrepresented products, and used fraudulent tactics to avoid detection. His initial court appearance in New York is scheduled for January 8, 2025.

⚖️Do Kwon case enters pre-trial stage, Terra ecosystem allegations attract attention
There is new progress in the case of Do Kwon, co-founder of Terraform Labs. The pre-trial meeting is scheduled for March 6, 2025, and the latest progress will be announced before February 27.
The US court plans to hold a jury trial on January 26, 2026. Although the judge encouraged him to plead guilty in exchange for a reduced sentence, it now seems likely that the case will go to trial.
Federal prosecutors accuse the Terraform ecosystem of being built on deceptive practices and claim that Do Kwon misrepresented the stability of the algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD. And the indictment lists his multiple fraud and securities violations.
Do Kwon's defense team believes that Terraform's products were legal and functionally consistent with the description before market sentiment changed. The trial is expected to last four to six weeks, during which basic issues of cryptocurrency classification under US law will also be resolved.
In addition, prosecutors claim that LUNA, the native token of the Terra ecosystem, is a security, a view that, if adopted, could have a significant impact on the entire cryptocurrency industry. However, defense attorneys have a different view.
The case involves 6TB of massive evidence from many sources, including audio recorded without Do Kwon's knowledge, which may raise some procedural issues. Despite the large amount of review materials, the judge still emphasized the need to ensure transparency and fairness in the industry.
Do Kwon is currently being held in Essex County Jail in New Jersey. His legal team also has to deal with the investigation and potential prosecution in South Korea, which is quite complicated. He was previously arrested in Montenegro for using a fake passport and was detained for nearly two years.
The United States and South Korea have been fighting over the extradition of Do Kwon. But at the end of December last year, the Minister of Justice of Montenegro finally decided to extradite him to the United States. In a court appearance on January 2 this year, Do Kwon pleaded not guilty to the charges of the collapse of the Terra ecosystem.
In short, this case not only concerns Do Kwon's personal fate, but will also have a profound impact on the legal status of cryptocurrency and the development of the industry, which deserves our continued attention.
What do you think of the latest developments in the Do Kwon case? Do you think this trial will affect the development of the cryptocurrency industry?

Terraform Labs opens claims portal
#TerraformLabs the company behind #TerraUSD y LUNA, will open its claims portal for cryptocurrency creditors on March 31, after declaring bankruptcy under Chapter 11 in January 2024.
The bankruptcy occurred following the collapse of its $40 billion ecosystem in 2022. Eligible creditors must register on the "Cryptocurrency Loss Claims Portal" before April 30, 2025, for their claims to be considered, the company reported. Claims submitted after the deadline will be dismissed.
To file a claim, creditors must provide proof of ownership of their cryptocurrency holdings, including wallet addresses for natively stored assets and read-only API keys for cryptocurrencies held on centralized exchanges.
Terraform will also consider transaction records and account statements as "manual evidence," but claims backed by these documents may face longer review times.
Terraform stated that it could reimburse its creditors between $185 million and $442 million as part of a reorganization plan approved by U.S. bankruptcy judge Brendan Shannon.

South Korean Supreme Court Rules: TerraUSD and LUNA Are Not Financial Investment Products
Court Upholds Previous Ruling – LUNA Not Subject to Capital Market Regulations
The South Korean Supreme Court has reaffirmed lower court decisions that stablecoin TerraUSD (UST) and its sister token LUNA do not qualify as financial investment products. This ruling rejects the prosecutors' appeal, which sought to seize the assets of Terraform Labs co-founder Shin Hyun-seong.
📅 On January 23, the court denied a request to confiscate Shin’s assets, stating that LUNA is not classified as a regulated financial product under South Korea’s Capital Markets Act.
📜 The court stated:
✅ "Existing laws and records confirm that the lower court's ruling is valid."
⚖️ Prosecutors’ Argument Fails: LUNA Is Not a Security
South Korean prosecutors argued that LUNA should be classified as a security and attempted to seize assets linked to Terraform Labs’ leadership.
❌ However, the court repeatedly ruled that LUNA does not meet the legal definition of a security or investment product and therefore is not subject to capital market regulations.
📌 Attorney Kim Jung-chul from Woori Law Firm explained:
🗣 "This ruling not only denies LUNA's status as a security but also confirms that it is not subject to the Capital Markets Act. This means asset seizures under this law are not possible."
🔍 Fraud Charges Still Stand
Despite the court’s decision, Shin Hyun-seong and other Terraform Labs executives still face fraud charges. Prosecutors allege that:
🔹 They manipulated the market for personal gain
🔹 They misled investors
🔹 They exploited the instability of the Terra blockchain to profit
🚨 Do Kwon, the mastermind behind the Terra ecosystem, was extradited from Montenegro and stood trial in New York in January.
🔍 U.S. authorities have charged him with:
Artificially inflating Terraform cryptocurrency pricesMoney laundering
💸 The collapse of Terra in May 2022 wiped out over $40 billion, causing massive losses for investors worldwide.
📌 What Does This Ruling Mean for the Market?
This decision reinforces the argument that cryptocurrencies are not securities, but it also leaves the question of regulation open for future debate.
🔹 Should LUNA be considered an investment product, or is it just another crypto asset?
🔹 Could regulatory authorities in other countries rule differently?
🔹 What impact will this ruling have on similar cases in the future?
👉 What’s your take? Should LUNA be subject to stricter regulations, or should it remain an independent digital token? Share your thoughts! 🚀

South Korea’s Supreme Court Rules TerraUSD & LUNA Are Not
Financial Investment Products
$LUNC
$LUNA
In a landmark ruling, South Korea’s Supreme Court has reaffirmed that TerraUSD (USTC) and LUNA do not qualify as financial investment products under the country’s Capital Markets Act. The decision aligns with previous lower court judgments and marks a significant legal precedent in defining digital assets within Korea’s regulatory framework. The ruling also resulted in the dismissal of an appeal from prosecutors seeking to classify LUNA as a security and seize assets from Terraform Labs co-founder Shin Hyun-seong.
On January 23, the court upheld prior decisions that LUNA does not meet the legal criteria of a regulated financial instrument, making asset confiscation under capital market regulations inapplicable. Legal experts suggest that this decision not only confirms the non-security status of LUNA but also sets a broader precedent for similar digital assets in the region. Kim Jung-chul, an attorney from Law Firm Woori, emphasized that the ruling eliminates any grounds for asset seizures based on Korea’s financial investment laws.
Despite this verdict, legal challenges remain for Terraform Labs' executives. Prosecutors continue to pursue fraud allegations, arguing that company leaders misled investors and manipulated the market for personal gain. Meanwhile, Do Kwon, the chief architect of the Terra ecosystem, was extradited from Montenegro and is now facing federal fraud charges in the U.S.. A grand jury indictment accuses him of orchestrating deceptive practices, inflating Terraform’s cryptocurrency value, and engaging in financial misconduct. The Terra ecosystem collapse in May 2022 led to over $40 billion in investor losses, leaving a lasting impact on the global crypto market.

Do Kwon’s Million-Dollar Wager on Luna Reaching $88
In 2022, Terra founder Do Kwon placed a high-stakes million-dollar bet with cryptocurrency analyst Sensei Algod, challenging whether Luna's price would surpass $88 within the next 12 months. The agreement, as reported by Foresight News, included prominent crypto commentator Cobie as an official witness to guarantee accountability.
This audacious prediction showcased Kwon’s confidence in Luna's potential for growth amid market volatility, although the token’s eventual collapse rendered the wager inconsequential. The event emphasized the speculative risks and dramatic narratives that were common in cryptocurrency markets at the time.

The annual percentage rate (APR) of $LUNA on the Binance Global brokerage has increased to 13.62%.
There has been movement in the price of $LUNA and a sharp increase of $0.2 during the day. Increases in APR can be observed in coins that experience sudden price fluctuations. We know that these rates increase and decrease due to lending situations in margin transactions.
$LUNA is trying to recover from its historical low. The movement of LUNA will also directly affect $LUNC and $USTC.

The $LUNA collapse of May 9, 2022, serves as a critical lesson for traders about the risks tied to algorithmic stablecoins and market sentiment.
🔥 The crash began when #TerraUSD (UST), an algorithmic stablecoin meant to maintain a 1:1 peg with the US dollar, depegged during a mass sell-off, triggering a "death spiral" that led to the oversupply and plummeting value of its counterpart, LUNA.
💎 This wiped out over $40 billion in market value within days and created widespread panic. For traders, the key takeaway is the importance of understanding the structural weaknesses of algorithmic mechanisms and the significance of collateral-backed stability in avoiding catastrophic losses.
