#Cryptocurrency News for August 12. In the crypto industry, everything goes on as usual: someone sells shares, someone wants to go to jail, and #bitcoin is below $24,000 again. Once upon a time in #China. The founder of the Chinese crypto exchange #Huobi, Leon Li, wants to part with his share in the business.

South Korean authorities have begun the first detentions in the case of laundering more than $ 3 billion through cryptocurrency. The prosecutor's office reports that at least three suspects have already been detained. In fact, this whole story is connected with the recent collapse of #Terra. Once upon a time in #India. The bank account of the #Bitbns crypto exchange has been blocked by the Indian authorities. Because of this, the exchange had to stop withdrawing funds in Indian rupees.
