Celsius Co-Founders Settle FTC Claims with $6 Million Payment

Celsius co-founders Daniel Leon and Nuke Goldstein have agreed to pay more than $6 million to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) as part of a legal settlement, according to CoinTelegraph. This follows regulatory scrutiny over Celsius’s business practices amid its financial troubles.

Earlier in April, former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky reached a separate $10 million settlement with the FTC, highlighting ongoing enforcement actions against key figures from the company. These settlements mark significant developments in the regulatory response to Celsius’s collapse.

For Japanese investors and traders, this reflects the increasing global regulatory focus on crypto lending platforms, emphasizing the importance of compliance and risk management in the evolving digital asset market.
