    In the context of cryptocurrencies, SBF has faced legal actions related to his involvement with FTX exchange. One significant legal challenge came from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which accused SBF and FTX of operating an unregistered derivatives exchange. The CFTC alleged that FTX offered futures and options contracts to U.S. customers without the necessary regulatory approvals. To settle the charges, SBF and FTX agreed to pay a fine of $150 million. This case highlights the increasing scrutiny and regulatory enforcement in the cryptocurrency industry.
