Australia's financial intelligence agency AUSTRAC has imposed a fine of A$75,120 on cryptocurrency exchange Cointree for failing to submit suspicious matter reports within the required deadlines. Despite Cointree's self-reporting of the issue, the regulator proceeded with the penalty and cautioned that continued noncompliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) reporting obligations could result in more severe enforcement actions. This enforcement aligns with AUSTRAC's broader efforts to ensure compliance within the crypto sector. Additionally, contract for difference providers (CTPs) have been brought under the scope of European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) rules concerning designated reporting service providers (DRSP) fines and fees.
