Major US indices closed in red on Monday. The S&P 500 was down 1.79%, Nasdaq Composite slumped 1.93%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average settled 1.4% lower.

Other significant developments in the crypto industry that are likely impacting the overall performance of the market:
A report by Reuters indicated that a U.S. agency that probes allegations of misleading conduct confirmed Monday that it had probes open into several cryptocurrency companies for “possible misconduct.”
Orthogonal Trading receives default notice:
Meanwhile, in what is seen as a big blow to undercollateralized lending protocols, Blockchain-based lending platform Maple Finance has reportedly severed ties with crypto firm Orthogonal Trading over allegations that it was “misrepresenting its financial position.”
A default by Orthogonal comes at a time when undercollateralized lending protocols grapple with a liquidity crunch and the fallout from FTX’s implosion.
The move came after Orthogonal was due to repay a $10M USDC stablecoin loan from a credit pool managed by M11 Credit on December 4.
It is to be noted that Orthogonal’s lapse is the second time a borrower defaulted on Maple after Babel Finance failed to service its debt in June.
