In response to regulatory heat and ongoing legal battles, Terraform Labs, led by Do Kwon, announces plans to limit access for US users to certain features, starting next week. 
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued injunctions against Terraform Labs and Do Kwon following a court ruling. These injunctions could force the company to scale back its US operations, possibly by blocking access to specific services for American users. However, exact details on which features will be affected remain undisclosed.

Terraform Labs is also withdrawing $23.8 million in liquidity from platforms like Astroport, Ura, and White Whale. These withdrawals, set for April 26, involve various LUNA pairs. This move is part of Terraform Labs’ effort to reorganize its finances post-SEC ruling, hinting at more changes ahead. Earlier this year, both Terraform Labs and Do Kwon were found guilty of fraud in a trial that began in March 2023. 
The SEC is imposing hefty penalties totaling $5.3 billion, including a $4.2 billion disgorgement fee and additional civil penalties. These penalties are among the largest in crypto history and are directed at Terraform Labs and Do Kwon.

Terraform Labs’ compliance with the SEC’s injunction will shape its future in the US, impacting American users significantly. The company has been struggling financially since filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2023, and this ruling adds to its challenges. 
The Terraform Labs case underscores the importance of regulatory compliance in the crypto industry. It serves as a reminder to other companies to adhere to regulations amid growing scrutiny from authorities like the SEC. 
Do you think the SEC’s actions are a necessary step towards regulating the crypto industry?
