Daily Flash | Terra UST In Violation of Investor Protection Rules, Glassnode Warns Inversion
01 January 08:00
Today’s Headline: SEC to Investigate Terra’s UST, Probe into How Terra used Mirror Protocol
According to Bloomberg, an unnamed source said that SEC’s enforcement attorneys have been looking into whether the way Terraform Labs marketed UST, its algorithmic stablecoin, was in violation of federal investor protection rules.
The federal agency was seeking documents and testimony in connection with its investigation of whether Terra used the Mirror Protocol to sell unregistered securities.
Mirror Protocol is a non-custodial trading platform that allows its users to trade Mirrored assets, or mAssets, meant to be synthetic versions of stocks like Tesla and Apple.
Yesterday, a U.S. District Court of Appeals upheld an order for Terraform Labs CEO Do Kwon to comply with an SEC subpoena by turning over documents and providing testimony about Mirror Protocol.
South Korean officials have also launched an investigation to determine whether intentional price manipulation and other issues could have been behind UST's crash last month, according to local television network JTBC.

Influencer of the Day: Abigail Johnson, CEO of Fidelity, Pledges Crypto Commitment in Bear Market
The chairman & CEO of Fidelity, Abigail Johnson offered experienced advice to the crowd at Consensus 2022 in Austin, Texas, and said her belief in the long-term fundamentals of cryptocurrency remains strong, CoinDesk reports.
According to Johnson, “I was raised to be a contrarian thinker and so I have this knee jerk reaction: If you believe that the fundamentals of a long term case are really strong, when everybody else is dipping [out], that’s the time to double down and go extra hard into it.”
She also pointed out that the move to bring crypto to the 20 million or so retirement plans it (Fidelity 401(k) Business) oversees was met with immediate pushback from the U.S. Department of Labor as well as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), citing concerns about the volatility of crypto.
