The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has released its enforcement results for the 2023 fiscal year, revealing that nearly half of its enforcement cases involved digital assets. Out of the 96 enforcement actions taken, 47 were related to cryptocurrencies. Some notable cases include charges against individuals and companies like Sam Bankman-Fried, FTX, Alameda Research, Binance, Changpeng Zhao, Samuel Lim, Celsius, Alex Mashinsky, Mango Markets hacker Avraham Eisenberg, Ooki DAO, Digitex LLC, and Mirror Trading International. The CFTC’s actions resulted in over $4.3 billion in penalties and fines, although the specific amount for the crypto-related cases was not disclosed. This report follows a similar one released in October 2022, indicating some overlap in the companies targeted by the agency. Overall, the CFTC’s enforcement efforts demonstrate its commitment to regulating the digital asset space and holding individuals and entities accountable for fraudulent activities.
