Resumo

Terraform Labs recently lost a case when a U.S. judge ruled that LUNA and MIR are securities, and is currently facing a class action lawsuit in Singapore.

Terraform Labs Pte. has filed a voluntary petition in Delaware for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, according to documents filed on Jan. 21.

The embattled cryptocurrency firm behind the failed stablecoin TerraUSD declared in the filing it has between $100 to $500 million in estimated assets and the same amount in liabilities. TerraUSD, a dollar-pegged cryptocurrency and Terra's LUNA token collapsed in May 2022, destroying billion of dollars in investor wealth.

Amongst the list of unsecured creditors are TQ Ventures, a U.S.-based digital assets investment fund, and Standard Crypto, a San Fransisco-based venture fund.

Terraform Labs and its founder, Do Kwon, currently face the prospect of a class action suit in Singapore as well as a trial in the U.S. from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the collapse of TerraUSD.

Separately, in late December, Kwon and Terraform Labs lost a case regarding the status of LUNA and MIR when a U.S. judge ruled that they are securities.

What to Expect from Bitcoin (BTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE) Prices in the Coming Days?

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez provided a technical outlook for Bitcoin (BTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE), identifying critical price levels for investors to watch. For Bitcoin, Martinez highlighted the $73,880 level as a decisive threshold to maintain the bullish scenario. Sustaining above this level could set the next key MVRV price band target at $100,000. He noted similarities between Bitcoin's current price structure and movements following the 2022 bear market low, suggesting a potential pattern where Bitcoin tests a peak near $83,000 (expected around May 2026) and then experiences a correction, which could present a major buying opportunity. Regarding Dogecoin, Martinez observed a potential bull flag forming on the hourly chart. He stated that within this pattern, the price might first retest a key support level at $0.081. The critical level for upward momentum is $0.090. A confirmed technical breakout, indicated by an hourly candle closing above $0.090, could propel the price toward $0.115. *This is not investment advice.

Despite Recent Bitcoin Rise, One Analyst Remains Cautious: 'I Haven't Seen What I Wanted Yet'

Despite Bitcoin's recent rally reigniting bullish sentiment, Alphractal founder Joao Wedson advises caution based on blockchain data analysis. He highlights the MVRV Z-Score indicator, used to measure investor behavior and market value cycles, suggesting Bitcoin's cycle low may not be in yet. Drawing parallels to the 2017-2018 cycle, Wedson notes that after its 2017 peak, Bitcoin experienced another sharp drop in November 2018. Similarly, in the current 2024-2025 period, the MVRV Z-Score has formed three peaks but has recently risen again alongside price. The key risk, according to Wedson, is that the indicator has not yet entered negative territory, historically associated with major cycle bottoms. He states that purely from on-chain data, there isn't enough evidence to confirm the recent low as the final bottom. If historical patterns repeat, Bitcoin could potentially fall to at least $53,000 or lower. Wedson clarifies this is data analysis, not financial advice, and emphasizes that on-chain metrics currently indicate downside risks remain, rather than conclusively signaling a market bottom.

Anthropic Eyes 'Training Chips'? Reportedly Considered Acquiring AI Chip Company MatX for $7 Billion

AI giant Anthropic reportedly discussed acquiring AI chip startup MatX for approximately $7 billion to accelerate its in-house chip development, specifically targeting "training chips" for large language models. This move follows OpenAI's recent unveiling of its own inference chip, "Jalapeño," highlighting a growing trend of major AI companies vertically integrating into hardware. However, the MatX deal was ultimately abandoned, with talks shifting toward potential collaboration instead. Anthropic's interest in MatX, a company founded in 2023 by former Google TPU engineers, underscores its strategic push to secure faster and more cost-efficient computing power for its Claude model. The company's broader chip ambitions are further evidenced by its recruitment of key industry veterans, including former Google TPU leader Amir Salek and ex-OpenAI chip engineer Clive Chan, to build an internal chip team. Anthropic is also actively meeting with several other AI chip startups to evaluate different architectures. Despite this significant investment in chip design capabilities, Anthropic reportedly plans to maintain a multi-vendor strategy, continuing its partnerships with major suppliers like Nvidia and Google. Developing advanced chips remains a costly and time-intensive endeavor, making the acquisition of an established startup like MatX an attractive, though currently unrealized, shortcut to gain expertise and potentially reduce long-term costs.

Fed Chair Warsch 'Hawkish', Goldman Still Not Buying a 'September Hike', JPMorgan Says 'Still Have to See August Jobs and CPI'

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh struck a more hawkish tone in his Jackson Hole speech, emphasizing that inflation remains the Fed's "primary focus." He expressed concern that underlying price trends have not shown substantial improvement, citing data showing a high proportion of PCE basket items with price increases above 3%. While the speech pushed market-implied odds of a September rate hike above 50%, major Wall Street banks remain unconvinced. Both JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs maintain that a September hike is not their base case. JPMorgan's economists see the upcoming August nonfarm payrolls and CPI reports as the critical data points for the September decision, and the bank maintains its forecast for a December hike. Goldman Sachs expects core inflation to rise around 0.2% month-over-month in August, a pace they believe would keep the FOMC on hold. They suggest a September move would only be likely if the August CPI and PPI data come in significantly stronger than expected. In his remarks, Warsh clarified two controversial points from July, affirming the Fed's commitment to its 2% inflation target and identifying the short-term interest rate as the primary policy tool. He also described the economy as "impressive" and current broad financial conditions as not restrictive.
