Alec and Artin Ohanian filed a case with the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on February 18.

They asserted that Stablegains, a DeFi platform created in August 2021, routed all user funds to the Anchor Protocol without their approval or knowledge.

Anchor Protocol promised returns of up to 20% on Terra USD, the algorithmic stablecoin created by Terraform Labs (UST).

Stablegains offered its customers a 15% return, pocketing the difference between its yields and those of Anchor Protocol.

Complainants further allege that Stablegains violated federal securities laws by selling UST as a security.

In other developments, since the beginning of 2023, there appears to be a continuous shift in sentiment in the crypto world, with Bitcoin leading other coins out of the bear market and launching a resurgence. Notable is also the tendency of equities in the crypto ecosystem, such as Coinbase, to mirror the price fluctuations of Bitcoin.

Coinbase’s stock COIN, has performed pretty well since the beginning of the year. From a low of $31.73 in early January, the price of COIN has risen as high as $87.87 before settling in the $60 to $70 area.
