📉 In the USA, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) set a record for fines in 2024 due to a major settlement with the crypto firm Terraform Labs. The total amount of penalties reached $8.2 billion, the highest figure in SEC history. More than half of this amount was attributed to the fine against Terraform and former CEO Do Kwon for fraud. Despite a decrease in the number of cases, the SEC continues to actively pursue crypto companies.
