Court approves Terraform Labs winding down in bankruptcy hearing

After collapsing in 2022, facing an SEC lawsuit in 2023, and filing for bankruptcy in 2024, many of Terraform’s legal cases in the US are beginning to wind down.

A judge approved Terraform Labs winding down its operations as part of the firm’s bankruptcy plan in the United States.

According to a Sept. 19 Reuters report, Judge Brendan Shannon of the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware approved Terraform’s bankruptcy plan. The company filed for Chapter 11 protection in January, claiming between $100 and $500 million in estimated liabilities and assets.

Judge Shannon reportedly called the plan a “welcome alternative” to further litigation to address investor losses. Terraform’s bankruptcy proceedings followed the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing a lawsuit against the platform and its founder, Do Kwon, in February 2023.
