Terraform Labs Pte Ltd (TFL), the company behind the TerraUSD (UST) stablecoin that collapsed the cryptocurrency market in 2022, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Delaware, United States, according to court papers filed on Sunday. The move comes after a suggestion for bankruptcy was filed in Terraform Labs vs U.S. SEC lawsuit. 
Terraform Labs chief executive officer (CEO) said Chris Amani said the move is important for the company and its investors. It will allow them to continue working for goals while resolving the legal challenges that remain outstanding.

The company’s estimated assets and liabilities are nearly $100 million to $500 million, as per the court documents. Also, the number of creditors is between 100 and 199. Do Kwon is the majority shareholder with 92% of Terraform Labs. Whereas, South Korean entrepreneur Daniel Shin owns the remaining shares of the Singapore-incorporated company, 
“The Terra community and ecosystem have shown unprecedented resilience in the face of adversity, and this action is necessary to allow us to continue working toward our collective goals while resolving the legal challenges that remain outstanding,” said Terraform Labs chief executive officer Chris Amani. 
Co-founder Do Kwon and Terraform Labs are indicted on fraud charges, while being sued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 
In December, Judge Jed S. Rakoff ruled in favor of the US SEC, agreeing that Terraform Labs and <a href="https://coingape.com/breaking-sec-secures-victory-over-terraform-kwon-in-securities-ruling/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Do Kwon sold unregistered securities</a>, violating securities laws. However, the Judge ruled out allegations that the company had made transactions in unregistered security-based swaps. The SEC’s fraud case against Terraform must be tried by a jury.
