According to Decrypt, although Do Kwon, the founder of Terraform Labs, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for causing the collapse of Terra, which resulted in approximately $40 billion in losses, the abandoned original chain Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) has not disappeared. A group of community members continues to maintain the network, hoping to achieve one of the greatest revivals in the history of the cryptocurrency industry.The report states that a core community member known by the pseudonym "Vegas" lost about $50,000 during the Terra collapse and has since been involved in operating validation nodes, governance proposals, and developer coordination. He expressed that despite facing long-term internal power struggles and fraud accusations, and even being maliciously reported to the authorities, he still believes LUNC has the potential to return to the top ten in the cryptocurrency industry.After the Terra collapse in 2022, Terraform Labs launched a new chain, Terra, through a hard fork, while the original chain was retained and renamed Terra Luna Classic. Subsequently, the community organization Terra Rebels took over the maintenance work and launched a series of proposals, including a 1.2% burn tax, in hopes of revitalizing the ecosystem. However, due to disputes over fund allocation and governance, Terra Rebels eventually disbanded, and several developers left one after another.Despite this, the community continues to advance the development of projects such as lending protocols, games, and meme coins, and attempts to restore the stablecoin peg mechanism. Data shows that LUNC has risen 17.3% in the past year, but has cumulatively fallen 28.7% since 2022, with a decline of 99.99% from its historical high of $119.Some community members stated that the shared trauma after the collapse has formed a bond similar to "family," and that price is no longer the only goal. "What if we could achieve one of the greatest comebacks in cryptocurrency history? It's like a last-ditch pass." said a community member.

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen recently elaborated on Bitget's strategic layout in the field of tokenized assets during an online AMA titled "The Future of RWA" hosted by Reality. She revealed that since proposing the Universal Exchange (UEX) strategy in early 2025, Bitget has been accelerating its evolution from a traditional crypto exchange to a platform covering all categories of assets. During a meeting with the COO of BlackRock, she introduced the "10% Vision": it is expected that by 2030, approximately 10% of global financial assets will exist in tokenized form. Currently, the penetration rate of tokenized stocks is only 0.01%, indicating a significant incremental space in traditional financial markets, which is precisely the trend that Reality is built upon.Gracy summarized "why now" as the convergence of five major trends: stablecoins have become a global settlement channel, especially in regions where fiat currencies are weak, creating demand for dollar-denominated investment products; there is a surge in user willingness for diversified asset allocation; blockchain performance, custody, compliance, and market maker systems are maturing; regulatory frameworks in the US, Europe, and Hong Kong are moving from ambiguity to structured clarity; and the market's demand for capital efficiency is driving the release of new liquidity in tokenized assets.When discussing the pain points of the tokenized stock market, Gracy stated that some existing issuers often cause a deviation between the token price and the underlying asset price when handling corporate actions such as dividends and stock splits. The Reality platform is focused on addressing this issue by strictly aligning the Net Asset Value (NAV), supporting the mapping of dividends and corporate actions, and enhancing the consistency between tokenized assets and the real underlying assets. She also revealed that Bitget will continue to expand asset categories and further improve the UEX Universal Exchange ecosystem.

Plume has partnered with the Ethereum liquid staking protocol ether.fi to launch a new RWA yield vault, providing ether.fi users with opportunities to earn tokenized returns on real-world assets.
