The brother of a former Coinbase (NASDAQ:) employee has agreed to pay the cryptocurrency exchange nearly $470,000 for his role in an insider trading scheme.

According to a New York District Court filing signed on April 6 and made public on April 10, Nikhil Wahi — brother of former Coinbase product manager Ishan Wahi — will be required to begin making restitution payments while serving time in prison in what is believed to be the first insider trading case involving crypto.
