Swiss police freeze millions of Do Kwon, TFL assets at request of SEC

Approximately $26 million in bitcoin and crypto assets belonging to Terraform Labs executives, including founder Do Kwon, have reportedly been frozen by authorities in Switzerland. South Korean news outlet Digital Asset reported that the funds were taken from Zurich-based digital asset bank Sygnum at the request of US federal prosecutors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

It's not trying to be token specific.” Power said “it’s fair to assume” crypto-specific legislation will appear someti...
