Rari Capital faces SEC settlement over investor misleading
SEC finalises agreement with Rari Capital.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has reached a settlement with decentralised finance platform Rari Capital and its founders following accusations of misleading investors and operating as unregistered brokers. The settlement addresses serious concerns raised by the SEC over the platform’s compliance with financial regulations.
Rari Capital, which once managed over $1 billion in crypto assets at its peak, was co-founded by Jai Bhavnani, Jack Lipstone, and David Lucid. The SEC highlighted that the platform and its founders failed to properly disclose key information to investors, contributing to potential risks for those involved.
The following case underscores regulatory bodies’ increasing scrutiny of decentralised finance platforms, as they aim to ensure transparency and protect investors in the fast-evolving crypto space.
