Crypto collapse: SEC brings regulatory clarity to Kraken and Celsius, stablecoins for the UK, crypto money laundering

Amy and I have another news roundup! It’s over at Amy’s. [Amy Castor]

In this edition:

• The SEC helpfully hits Kraken with a hammer marked “regulatory clarity”;
• Celsius Network’s plan to transition to a NewCo falls afoul of the SEC needing proper accounts for pre-bankruptcy Celsius — and their QuickBooks and Google spreadsheets aren’t quite sufficient;
• North Korea’s man in Spain is arrested over money laundering;
• The FCA advocates a very odd plan for regulated UK stablecoins;
• Bitfinex definitely doesn’t have a data leak of any significance whatsoever!
