Ken Griffin believes that regulators should recognize Terra disaster as a wake-up call

Ken Griffin, the CEO of American hedge fund and financial services company, Citadel Capital, believes that the Terra (LUNA) tragedy should be recognized as a wake-up call for regulators around the world.

A wake-up call

During an interview with Bloomberg Markets and Finance, Griffin burst on Terra, calling it a “catastrophe.” Notably, the previous week, LUNA/UST model failed to such an extent that it led to the TerraUSD (UST) depegging and two cryptocurrencies burning into ashes.

Citadel CEO said that the incident should motivate the authorities to bring anecessary and crucial regulatory frameworks for cryptocurrencies. However, he added that the regulatory bodies should prioritize stablecoins regulation in particular. He stated:

“I do think that the Terra catastrophe should be a wake-up call to D.C. to actually focus on thoughtful regulation. And in particular, stablecoin, by virtue of its name, almost demands being appropriately regulated.”
According to the CEO of Citadel Capital, stablecoin issuers should be compelled by law to disclose the reserves underpinning the fiat-pegged crypto assets on a regular basis, just as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are required to expose the underlying assets regularly.
“Just as we have daily disclosures of the ETF holdings, we should have periodic disclosure of what backs the stablecoins so that people know their money is safe or not.”

Griffin comments on Tether

Griffin stated that there are still concerns about the reserves regarding Tether (USDT), the largest stablecoin by market cap and volume. He believes that documentation of reserves backing stablecoins should be available and verifiable.

Notably, the largest stablecoin, Tether, has never explicitly disclosed its reserves, for which it has been targeted by several regulators. Griffin believes that if someone claims to have a stablecoin with a solid model and a dollar value, they should be able to back it up with custody accounts for transparency and stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
