Carlyle Group co-founder David Rubenstein, in an interview with Bloomberg, expressed his regret for missing the opportunity to invest in Bitcoin when a single coin was worth just $100.

Both Coinbase and the SEC have denied reports claiming that the regulator requested the exchange to halt trading in all cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin. A Coinbase spokesperson has clarified to Blockworks that the supposed recommendation was an inaccurate representation of the facts. The interview published by the Financial Times earlier lacks important context regarding the conversations between Coinbase and the SEC.
