WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said on Wednesday it settled charges against decentralized finance platform Rari Capital and its founders over misleading investors and acting as unregistered brokers.

The co-founders were named as Jai Bhavnani, Jack Lipstone, and David Lucid. Their platforms at their peak held crypto assets worth more than $1 billion, the SEC said in a statement.
