Terraform Labs, co-founded by Do Kwon and Daniel Shin, transferred Convex Finance (CVX) tokens worth millions to another wallet address on Tuesday.

The massive transfer has come almost a year after the Terra-LUNA crisis that duped $40 billion in investors’ money and started a crackdown of the crypto market.

Do Kwon’s Firm Terra Transfers 1.8 Million CVX

Terraform Labs is one of the largest holders of Convex Finance (CVX) and locked large amounts of tokens last year. On May 9, Terraform Labs-linked wallet address moved 1.8 million CVX tokens worth nearly $8.7 million to a wallet address starting with 0x15A5, after 277 days of inactivity.

As per Etherscan data, Terraform Labs transferred 100 CVX tokens to the wallet address 0x15A5. It followed another big transfer of 1.83 million CVX worth $8.7 million to the wallet address 0x15A5. The wallet currently has no CVX tokens now, but holds Convex CRV (cvxCRV) tokens worth $26.5k.

Terraform Labs held over 2 million vote-locked CVX, but it was marked invalidated from vote locking contract due to inactivity. The last CVX transaction was on August 4, 2022, making today’s transfer of 1.8M CVX the first activity after 277 days.

Interestingly, the transaction almost a year after the Terra-LUNA crisis has raised questions about transfers of tokens worth millions.

Terra co-founder Do Kwon was arrested in Montenegro after being on the run for several months. Meanwhile, South Korean prosecutors continue their investigation of the Terra-LUNA crisis, while also seeking the arrest of co-founder Daniel Shin. South Korea and the US are seeking Do Kwon’s extradition.
