NEW YORK (Reuters) - A federal judge on Tuesday delayed the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's trial against Terraform Labs and co-founder Do Kwon over an alleged $40 billion cryptocurrency fraud, to allow time for Kwon to be extradited so he can attend.

In an order, U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan pushed back the trial to March 25 from Jan. 29, with no further delays even if Kwon were not extradited.
