SEC charges Jump Crypto's Tai Mo Shan for misleading investors on Terra USD
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has imposed a $123 million fine on Jump Trading's subsidiary, Tai Mo Shan, for allegedly misleading investors regarding the stability of the TerraUSD stablecoin during its depeg in May 2021. The SEC claims that Tai Mo Shan profited approximately $86 million from activities that included manipulating TerraUSD's $1 peg through incentivized trades and acting as a statutory underwriter for Luna, which was sold as securities. This settlement follows the collapse of the Terraform ecosystem, which has raised concerns about investor protections in the cryptocurrency space.
