According to ChainCatcher, Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison by a U.S. federal court in Manhattan for orchestrating the $40 billion TerraUSD collapse, may face a second trial in South Korea. Reports indicate that South Korean prosecutors are seeking a sentence exceeding 30 years for Kwon, citing violations of capital market laws. The 34-year-old South Korean national may apply for transfer to South Korea after serving half of his sentence, where approximately 200,000 Korean investors suffered losses amounting to around 300 billion won ($204 million). U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer, during last week's sentencing, remarked on the severity of the fraud, stating, "In the history of federal prosecutions, few fraud cases have caused such significant damage." Do Kwon has admitted to intentionally participating in a scheme to defraud Terraform Labs cryptocurrency buyers between 2018 and 2022, which led to the collapse of the TerraUSD stablecoin and Luna token in May 2022, triggering a ripple effect in the cryptocurrency market.

According to BlockBeats, market analyst Gabriel Rubin has highlighted concerns regarding U.S. Treasury Secretary Besent's significant control over the selection process for the next Federal Reserve Chair. This control suggests that regardless of who is appointed, the Treasury Secretary will effectively have substantial influence over the Federal Reserve. Government statements indicate that Besent has set clear criteria for the successor to Jerome Powell: any regulatory agenda must align with the White House, interest rates should be significantly lowered due to exaggerated concerns over tariff-induced inflation, and the issuance and management of government debt should be handled by the Treasury, not the Federal Reserve. Rubin warns that the United States is likely to face another economic or financial crisis eventually. A Federal Reserve with compromised independence means that during such a crisis, more power would be concentrated in the hands of the government. The central bank needs public trust and recognition to control inflation and ensure healthy credit, which the Treasury under U.S. President Donald Trump's administration cannot provide.
