Crypto investment giant Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd (TSE:GLXY) has agreed to pay a $200 million settlement to the New York Attorney General’s Office (NYAG) over allegations of promoting the LUNA token despite dumping it to generate huge profits.

加密投資巨頭Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd（TSE：GLXY）已同意向紐約總檢察長辦公室（NYAG）支付2億美元的和解協議，以指控促進Luna代幣的指控，儘管它傾銷了它以帶來巨額利潤。

According to a recent report by Axios, the settlement was officially signed on March 24 by both state authorities and Galaxy Digital representatives. It stipulates a payment plan of $200 million to be spread over three years, with the first installment of $40 million set to be paid within two weeks.

根據Axios的最新報告，該和解由州當局和Galaxy數字代表正式簽署。它規定了一項2億美元的付款計劃，將在三年內分配，第一部分將在兩週內支付4000萬美元。

Furthermore, Galaxy has agreed to implement policies aimed at preventing conflicts of interest. These measures include stricter guidelines on promotional statements and tighter oversight on staff investments. Additionally, the company must conduct thorough legal reviews of all future token transactions.

此外，Galaxy已同意執行旨在防止利益衝突的政策。這些措施包括有關促銷報表的更嚴格的準則以及對員工投資的嚴格監督。此外，公司必須對所有未來的令牌交易進行徹底的法律審查。

The LUNA Case

露娜案

The case centers around LUNA, a cryptocurrency that crashed massively in May 2022. The Terra ecosystem, which comprised the LUNA token and its algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD (UST), relied on a complex stabilization mechanism. However, UST lost its peg to the US dollar, causing a death spiral. UST plummeted to $0.10, while LUNA, once valued at $119.5, became nearly worthless. The collapse wiped out over $40 billion in market value.

該案例集中在露娜（Luna）周圍，這種加密貨幣在2022年5月大規模墜毀。構成Luna令牌及其算法Stablecoin Terrausd（UST）的Terra生態系統（UST）依賴於復雜的穩定機制。但是，烏斯特失去了釘子，造成死亡螺旋。 Ust下降到0.10美元，而Luna曾經價值119.5美元，幾乎毫無價值。崩潰消除了超過400億美元的市場價值。

Galaxy Digital CEO Michael Novogratz was one of LUNA’s most popular backers. Novogratz even got a wolf-howling-at-the-moon tattoo to celebrate LUNA hitting $100. Yet, while flaunting his bullishness on social media, Galaxy was secretly offloading millions of tokens, according to the NYAG’s filing.

Galaxy Digital首席執行官Michael Novogratz是Luna最受歡迎的支持者之一。 Novogratz甚至得到了狼紋身紋身，以慶祝Luna命中100美元。然而，據NYAG的文件稱，在炫耀自己在社交媒體上的看漲時，銀河系秘密地卸下了數百萬個令牌。

The settlement, which was first announced in December 2023, unveils that Galaxy struck a deal with Terraform Labs, the creator of LUNA, to buy 18.5 million tokens at a 30% discount to the market price for $4 million. These tokens were released in monthly batches over the course of a year.

該定居點於2023年12月首次宣布，該定居點公佈了Galaxy與Luna的創建者Terraform Labs達成協議，以400萬美元的價格以30％的折扣購買了1850萬個代幣。這些令牌在一年的時間內每月批次發布。

While Galaxy reportedly promoted LUNA to the public, it sold the majority of its holdings in multiple batches, ultimately leading to over $100 million in profit for the firm. By March 2022, just before the crash, Galaxy had liquidated nearly its entire LUNA position. Even after that, the firm continued promoting LUNA without disclosing its token dumping, the filing asserts.

據報導，儘管Galaxy將Luna推廣到公眾，但它以多批次出售了其大部分持股，最終導致該公司的利潤超過1億美元。到2022年3月，就在墜機事故發生之前，Galaxy幾乎清算了其整個Luna位置。即使在那之後，該公司仍在不公開其令牌傾銷的情況下繼續宣傳Luna。

The case marks a significant development in the aftermath of the LUNA crash. In late 2024, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reached a $123 million settlement with Jump Crypto, a market-making firm, over similar LUNA-related violations.

該案標誌著Luna墜機事件發生後的重大發展。 2024年下半年，美國證券交易委員會（SEC）達成了1.23億美元的和解公司，該公司是一家與Luna相關的違規行為，與Luna Crypto達成了1.23億美元的和解。
