Coinbase (COIN) on Monday dropped plans to launch its interest product after the Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler's comment.

Cramer advised investors to take a little profit in cryptocurrencies.
“We may be at the high water mark of what these financial engineers can get away with. I think we have to fix this Tether [stable coin backed by Chinese debt],” said Cramer.
