Terraform has $3B (ish, stores as Bitcoin) that they could use to try to buy back faith in their coin.

Problem is, best they can do is reboot with a Bitcoin-collateralized coin. The whole Terra/Luna/Anchor "algorithmic stablecoin" had been exposed as a fraud or a fantasy, so such smaller fraction of suckers and scammers will buy in to that again, and everyone else might buy in to a Bitcoin backed stablecoin, but there's not much profit in that for Terraform, and the users have no reason to choose it over a more reliably backed coin like Tether or USDC or DAI.
