South Korean police freeze Terra (LUNA) Foundation Guard assets

 


South Korean authorities are in the process of freezing the Luna Foundation Guard's assets. Luna Foundation Guard is a non-profit foundation that maintains reserves for the Terra ecosystem to support the stablecoins during difficult times.


Are you running away with the money?

We all know how that ended. Terra's UST stablecoin failed to maintain the link to the USD, causing the entire ecosystem to collapse. Billions of USD and the savings of thousands of investors went up in smoke.


Now South Korean police appear to fear Luna Foundation Guard is running away with the funds as it seeks grants to freeze its assets. However, by law, exchanges are not required to comply. It remains to be seen whether they will comply with the request. The chance that they will do so seems more than likely at first. After all, they keep the authorities on their toes and also show that they have the best intentions for the users.


The reason for the police request

South Korean police are investigating the Luna Foundation Guard after learning of possible strange practices with the funds. However, the likelihood that the Luna Foundation Guard is actually planning wrong things with the funds seems low. Do Kwon and his companions are known to the Korean authorities and that would make escape difficult. In this case, sooner or later something will come to light that will put them in the sights of the judiciary.


The question is whether they want that on top of all the excitement that's already there. Some investors have already sued Do Kwon and its lesser-known co-founder Daniel Shin over the losses. Other investors are also preparing their own lawsuit against the gentlemen. Terra and all that has to do with him is now in such a bright light that shady actions seem like more of a foolish decision.


Korean authorities visit major stock exchanges

In any case, they are not letting it get that far in South Korea, because the authorities have already visited the major exchanges yesterday and today. This affects parties like Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit and Gopax. They will most likely have to answer questions to determine if they should take some responsibility for the losses. In this respect, the Korean authorities seem to believe that the responsibility does not lie solely with investors.


If this becomes a thing, then exchanges should also pay more attention to which coins they list on their platform. This may also cause problems for many cryptocurrencies in the near future. "In any case, we will urge exchanges to implement an investor protection policy," said Yoon Chang-hyeon, the chairman of the People Power Party's digital assets division.


Coinone suspended trading with Luna during the ecosystem collapse. At the same time, both Korbit and Bithumb were warned not to invest in the project. The question is whether that is enough for the Korean authorities and whether the exchanges have adequately protected investors.

Not a bear market: According to the analyst, the current BTC decline is the same as in previous Bitcoin cycles

  According to one analyst, Bitcoin is behaving the same overall this year as it has in previous cycles. Bitcoin ( BTC ) will have “at least one more boost higher” before hitting all-time highs this halving cycle, analysts are currently saying. The well-known analyst TechDev has spoken on Twitter about the current state of BTC and said that contrary to many opinions, nothing unusual has happened in BTC/USD in 2022. Bitcoin in 2021: Nothing to see here Sentiment has also taken a hit, falling 40 percent from November's all-time high of $69,000. There is still “extreme fear” in the bitcoin and altcoin market.

Back then, the number of new addresses made lower highs while the price made higher highs. "In 4 of the 6 corrections, there was divergence with price ma...

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...
