Nearly half of the Commodity Futures Training Commission’s enforcement actions in fiscal 2023 were related to digital assets, including against crypto companies and crypto-tied “individual Ponzi schemers,” the regulator said Tuesday.
Through 47 total crypto-related enforcement actions, the CFTC “cemented its reputation as a premier enforcement agency in the digital asset space,” it said, noting that it “obtained a first-of-its-kind litigation victory against a decentralized autonomous organization; charged and won another litigation victory against a digital asset futures platform; brought an innovative litigation involving cross-market manipulation in blockchains; and continued its efforts to protect the public in the decentralized finance space.”
