SEC investigation

There is every reason to investigateregarding the UST, lawyers say. The actual regulatory regime for stablecoins is still a work in progress. But that may not matter in the case of TerraUSD (UST), says a former SEC advisor.

The current SEC investigation into Terraform Labs and the interaction of the Terra protocol with synthetic securities changes the basis for the SEC's involvement in such cases.

The SEC is likely already investigating what happened to the UST over the past week, two former SEC lawyers said.

"The SEC is already in action as they investigate the Mirror Protocol," said Philip Moustakis, who in 2019 moved from the SEC's law enforcement division to the law firm Seward & Kissel.

An SEC spokesman put it this way: "The SEC does not comment on the presence or absence of a possible investigation." The regulator also declined to comment on TerraUSD.

The Mirror protocol allowed synthesized or "mirror" versions of US stocks such as Tesla and Apple to be traded in exchange for UST based on the Terra blockchain.
