Have there been any recent developments in the 
cryptocurrency sphere regarding regulatory enforcement? Specifically, did the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) successfully settle a landmark case involving insider trading in crypto markets? This case, if true, would mark a significant milestone in the evolving regulatory landscape for digital assets and cryptocurrencies. I'm particularly interested in understanding the details of this settlement, if any, and its potential implications for the broader crypto community and investors.

    The SEC's actions against Wahi brothers demonstrate its willingness to investigate and penalize insider trading activities in the crypto sphere.
