Documented cause
Warsaw-based CryptoMind raised $4.5M through a 2018 ICO promising an AI-powered crypto portfolio management platform. KNF (Polish Financial Supervision Authority) issued a warning against the project in November 2020, classifying the ICO tokens as unregistered securities. By 2021 the team had dwindled from 22 to 6 employees. The Terra/LUNA collapse in May 2022 wiped out 80% of the treasury held in UST stablecoin, and the company ceased operations in June 2022.
Lesson
“Holding company treasury in algorithmic stablecoins is a binary risk that can destroy operations overnight.”
