Former Terraform Labs CEO Do Kwon Jailed, COO Takes Over as Company Faces Uphill Battle

Chris Amani, who previously served as Terraform Labs' COO and CFO, has taken over as CEO in the absence of former CEO Do Kwon, who is currently in jail in Montenegro awaiting possible extradition. Amani stated that the company is not planning to launch another stablecoin, but instead wants to create products with real utility for users.

Kwon still owns the majority of the company's shares and faces criminal charges and a civil fraud lawsuit filed by the SEC for his role in the collapse of TerraUSD. Amani wishes Kwon the best but believes it makes sense for the company to continue on without him while he faces legal challenges.

  • New Stablecoin Bill Introduced in US Senate to Regulate Dollar-Pegged Digital Assets

    Senators Cynthia Lummis and Kirsten Gillibrand have proposed a new bill that aims to establish definitions for dollar-pegged digital assets and their issuers. The bill mandates that payment stablecoin issuers meet reserve and operational requirements, including creating subsidiaries specifically for issuing stablecoins. Additionally, stablecoin issuers must deal in dollar-backed tokens and ensure their tokens are fully backed by reserve assets. The proposed legislation seeks to define how stablecoins will operate in the US and would prohibit algorithmic stablecoins. There are ongoing discussions about attaching stablecoin legislation to a must-pass bill reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration, and Senator Sherrod Brown has indicated that specific safeguards must be included for the legislation to move forward.
