So what led to the penalty? A timeline of events:

  • BlockFi amassed hundreds of thousands of users in the US by offering interest-accruing crypto accounts.
  • But those accounts needed to be registered as a security with the SEC, which the agency said BlockFi didn’t do.
  • According to the SEC, BlockFi misled users by downplaying the risk involved in such accounts—the agency claims that if there were a run on assets, BlockFi wouldn’t have been able to maintain interest rates or return crypto to users.

In addition to paying the penalty, BlockFi plans to create and register a new crypto lending product called BlockFi Yield. As of December, the company’s assets totaled more than $10 billion.—MK
