Regulatory Actions on Major Exchanges
In recent months, several major crypto exchanges have faced regulatory actions from governments worldwide. For example, in 2022, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) fined a prominent exchange $30 million for operating an unregistered securities exchange.
