Analysis: The conviction of Do Kwon – Is it beneficial or detrimental for Terra Classic?
1. Legal pressure relieved — A significant "turning point"
Over the past 2 years, the Terra Classic system has been hanging in the balance due to legal factors related to Do Kwon.
His conviction helps to end the uncertainty, reducing systemic risk, especially:
• No worries about the possibility of "one fine day" Do Kwon being acquitted and declaring a return to Terra 2.0 or interfering with LUNC.
• Creating a more transparent environment for validators, developers, and the community.
⟶ In terms of market psychology: beneficial.
⸻
2. Terra Classic has completely separated from Do Kwon
The Terra Classic system (LUNC/USTC) is now operated by the community, no longer dependent on or related to Do Kwon.
His sentence inadvertently reinforces the narrative that:
“Terra Classic is a self-recovering community project, no longer involving the founder.”
This helps attract a new group of investors who favor “community-driven” projects.
⟶ Beneficial in terms of narrative & communication.
⸻
3. Reduced legal risks for exchanges
Some exchanges have been cautious with LUNC due to concerns related to the Do Kwon lawsuit.
Now that everything is clear, the likelihood of:
• Re-listing,
• Opening margin,
• Opening staking,
• Or reducing trading restrictions… will be higher.
⟶ This is a positive signal for long-term liquidity.
⸻
4. However: No immediate large impact
The Terra Classic system still needs to truly revive:
• Technology updates,
• New cash flow,
• Real-world applications,
• Community unification,
• Clear USTC & LUNC burn roadmap.
Do Kwon's conviction does not cause an immediate price pump, but it removes one of the biggest "bottlenecks". ⟶ Positive $LUNC $USTC
