Talking point: The review, which does not mean the companies have done anything wrong, adds to growing scrutiny of the crypto lending sector in the U.S. The SEC launched a review of competitor BlockFi in November 2021, and state securities regulators have initiated enforcement action against BlockFi and Celsius, over allegations the companies disputed.
