- Britain's FCA fines Coinbase's business CB Payments Limited (CPBL) £3.5 million for weak anti-money laundering controls, marking the watchdog's first enforcement action in the cryptoassets trading sector.

- CBPL, part of the global Coinbase Group, agreed to enhance financial crime controls in October 2020 but breached the agreement by serving 13,416 high-risk customers who deposited $24.9 million, leading to $226 million in cryptoasset transactions.

- Despite facing repeated breaches, CBPL avoided a £5 million fine by resolving the issue and receiving a 30% discount, emphasizing commitment to regulatory compliance.
