Terraform Labs officially faces bankruptcy, leading to significant speculative activity. Previous assessments highlighted that LUNA Coin could experience difficult days ahead. The anticipated decision has now been made, and while the price might spike temporarily, it lacks a realistic foundation.
Is Terra (LUNA) Coming to an End?
The company, holding assets between 100 million and 500 million dollars, plans to use these funds for creditor payments. After satisfying these debts, if any cash remains, it may pay up to 2 billion dollars to the SEC. However, it is unlikely that all debts will be paid or that the SEC will receive any fines, as the company lacks sufficient funds.
Today’s announcement indicated discussions with third parties regarding the transfer of certain applications within the ecosystem. It raises the question: which third party would want to invest in the severely weakened LUNA Coin ecosystem? The announcement stated:
“Dear Terra Community,
Terraform Labs is in discussions with third parties to take over the operations of some of our products and services. However, if we fail to secure these agreements, we will shut down these products on October 30, 2024.
The products and services include;
- Enterprise
- Warp Protocol
- Station
- Alliance Hub
The services include;
-
Finder Block Explorer
-
Fuondation
-
IBC Relayers
-
Mantlemint
-
FCD
- API
Future Prospects for LUNA Coin
In summary, if no buyer emerges for these assets by October 30, LUNA Coin will lose its significance. Consequently, its price is likely to decline over time, unless it unexpectedly turns into a popular meme coin, leading to delisting announcements from exchanges.
Of course, the cryptocurrency market is unpredictable, and rumors of potential agreements could lead to upward speculative movements. Nevertheless, the current situation aligns with the anticipated decline of LUNA Coin that has been predicted for nearly two years. Do Kwon is expected to be extradited to either the US or South Korea, and former executives are now tainted, as numerous alternatives to Terra have gained support in the market over the last two years.
Although the price attempts to rise with recent news, investors should carefully manage their stop levels to avoid a potential 99% drop.
