Terraform Labs Pte. Lte. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on Jan. 21, according to the court’s website .

The company’s liabilities are estimated to be between $100 million and $500 million, and its amount of assets lies in the same range, Bloomberg reported .

Terraform Labs is the company behind the algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD and sister cryptocurrency Luna, both of which collapsed in May 2022. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission charged the firm and then-CEO Kwon Do-hyeong with fraud in February 2023.

Kwon was arrested in March last year in Montenegro for attempting to travel with false documents. The former Terra LUNA -4.94% chief is awaiting his extradition from the country, while the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York pushed back SEC’s trial against Terraform and Kwon to late March at Kwon’s request.
