The SEC also settled charges against Mango Labs and Blockworks Foundation for failing to register as brokers, the agency said.

Jurors in federal court in Manhattan earlier this year convicted a crypto trader of commodities fraud for rigging the Mango Markets exchange and stealing about $110 million from the platform.
