CFTC Receives Criticism For Legal Imposition With Ooki DAO

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) sparked strong criticism from the community after it filed a federal civil enforcement action against members of the Ooki DAO decentralized autonomous organization over digital asset trading violations.
