cryptocurrencies TerraUSD and LUNA, is now the subject of criticism and investigation after the failure of his enterprise sparked a significant market-wide catastrophe this week.

The founder of the tokens is known for his active social media campaign; nevertheless, he has been uncharacteristically silent over the past few days as the network has veered toward disaster.

Kwon stated that he has spent the previous several days calling various community members to inform them that the tokens have lost all value.

Goodbye, LUNA

The value of Terra’s native LUNA asset, which was worth about $120 at the beginning of April, plummeted drastically this week and was trading at approximately 0.03 cents as of press time.

Kwon broke his social media silence early on Friday evening with three tweets concerning the demise of the LUNA token and its related stablecoin, UST.

A few hours after proposing a “Terra ecosystem revitalization plan” to the network’s research forum, Kwon returned to Twitter for the first time in two days to express regret over the way events had transpired.

Do Kwon Is Devastated

“I am heartbroken about the suffering my innovation has caused you all,” he said, adding that he had spent much of his time on the phone with folks “devastated by UST depegging.”

This week, TerraUSD (UST), a stablecoin whose value was intended to be linked to the dollar, lost its peg and never recovered.

Kwon’s words were made hours after he proposed via a Terra discussion forum to restart the network by distributing 1 billion tokens to affected holders and users.

The simultaneous collapse of the algorithmic stablecoins UST and LUNA resulted in significant losses for market participants.TerraUSD traded as low as 23 cents amidst frenzied selling. This precipitated a broader crash that knocked the largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, to its lowest level since 2020.
