Stablegains lawsuit, Hashed loses billions, Finder wrong and more
Categories: Crypto News US
Fallout from the collapse of the Terra ecosystem continues to unfold with the United States-based yield generation application Stablegains facing potential legal action over its losses from the event.Users believe that Stablegain has allegedly lost up to $44 million worth of deposited funds, based on a post on a Terra forum by co-founder Kamil Ryszkowski asking for relief funding. He disclosed that a day before TerraUSD (UST) had lost its peg with the U.S. dollar, its users’ funds totaled over 47.6 million UST from 4,878 depositors. Stablegains users were able to earn up to 15% annual percentage yield (APY) on deposited United States dollars, which the company apparently swapped to UST to earn yield on Anchor Protocol.Documentation from Stablegains’ website updated seven days ago claims that USD Coin (USDC) and UST are “the main stablecoins” used.Stablegains has started allowing withdrawals, but USDC will only be provided at the market value of UST. Part of the terms and conditions noticed by a user stipulates the company isn’t liable for losses due to the exchange rate. South Korean-based venture fund Hashed has taken an estimated $2.9 billion loss on its Terra (LUNA) holdings, according to on-chain data.The crypto wallet linked to Hashed shows the firm still holds nearly 25 million LUNA, which could have netted the firm almost $3 billion if sold at the coins’ all-time high of $118 in early April.Reportedly, Hashed has said that it is “financially sound” and has not been affected by the Luna price collapse. ‘No plans’ for LFG’s AVAX reserves The Luna Foundation Guard (LFG), which supports/fails to support the Terra network, has “disclosed no plans to use” the Avalanche (AVAX) reserves it holds, according to a tweet from the Avalanche blockchain team.The LFG and Terraform Labs (TFL) purchased around $200 million worth of AVAX in April to back its UST stablecoin. The price of AVAX dropped 30% earlier in May on fears that the LFG would sell its AVAX to save the UST peg.However, Avalanche says the TFL portion of over 1 million AVAX has a lockup period of one year.The news on Terra isn’t all bad, Pantera Capital an early investor in Terra revealed that it had cashed out around 80% of its LUNA investment with the firm turning $1.7 million into around $170 million, according to partner Paul Veradittakit.
