The public needs “full and fair disclosure”

The SEC chief’s latest commentary on the digital assets industry comes as the market battles an increasingly colder crypto winter, with зараза hitting a number of top platforms.  

On Wednesday, crypto lender Celsius Network joined Воиагер Дигитал and Three Arrows Capital on the list of companies to file for bankruptcy. Leverage and ridiculously high yields plagued these companies.

Non-compliance platforms
