The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) reported a record $17.1 billion in fines and investor relief for the fiscal year 2024, primarily due to enforcement actions targeting the defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX. The FTX case alone contributed $12.7 billion to this total, marking it as the largest recovery in the agency's history. Additionally, the CFTC imposed $1.35 billion in penalties and disgorgement related to Binance. This significant financial relief reflects the agency's intensified crackdown on the cryptocurrency sector, particularly following the collapse of FTX and its associated hedge fund, Alameda Research.
