The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Terraform Labs, the company behind the failed TerraUSD stablecoin, and its co-founder Do Kwon on Thursday.
The SEC is charging Terraform and Kwon with fraud, selling unregistered securities, selling unregistered security-based swaps and other related claims.
The complaint alleged that Kwon and Terraform worked with a U.S. trading firm, which was not named, to restore UST's peg after it fell nearly 10 cents in May 2021.
