Do Kwon, Terraform Labs co-founder, was denied a refund on a S$19.4 million Singapore penthouse deposit by the High Court on July 26, 2025.
The court decision highlights ongoing legal and financial challenges for Kwon, impacting neither crypto markets nor Terraform Labs’ assets directly.
Do Kwon Denied Refund
Do Kwon, co-founder of Terraform Labs, has had his S$19.4 million (~US$14.2 million) refund request for a Singapore penthouse denied after a High Court ruling on July 26, 2025. This ruling follows legal challenges after Terraform’s collapse.
Kwon and his wife sought the refund, arguing transaction forfeiture was invalid. The court ruling, led by Judge Philip Jeyaretnam, upheld the developer’s right to retain Kwon’s payment, citing missed contractual obligations.
The court decision against Do Kwon does not impact current cryptocurrency markets, as Ethereum and Bitcoin remain unaffected. Both market stability and liquidity flows continue without interruption.
“The ruling is a cautionary tale for crypto founders,” said a legal expert, reflecting on Kwon’s personal financial loss rather than an institutional treasury issue for Terraform Labs, with no direct repercussions for the now-defunct UST or LUNA cryptocurrencies.
The court ruling reflects Singapore’s consistent policy on property transactions. Do Kwon is the central figure in Terraform Labs’ historic $40 billion collapse, impacting his financial dealings.
Legal experts highlight Kwon’s case as a warning for compliance in property acquisitions, mirroring past cases of crypto founders losing assets amidst regulatory scrutiny. Historical trends suggest strong adherence to contractual protocols is crucial.
