US SEC Settles With Mango Markets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The SEC is targeting the sale of governance tokens issued by MNGO organizations with its enforcement action. The SEC contends that these organizations have failed to comply with federal securities laws, thereby depriving investors of key legal safeguards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports that Mango DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization and Blockworks Foundation, a Panamanian business have successfully raised more than seventy million dollars through the sale of MNGO tokens through unregistered offers and sales as of August 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tokens, marketed as governance tokens of the Mango Markets platform<\/a> attracted hundreds of investors from all over the world, including those from the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a complaint arguing that the entities failed to provide investors with the disclosures and protections mandated by the SEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The marketing of MNGO tokens as governance tokens aimed to empower holders to make decisions within the Mango Markets ecosystem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
