The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority issued a fine of $4.5 million (3.5 million pounds) against a U.K.-based subsidiary of crypto platform Coinbase for providing services to high-risk customers in violation of FCA rules.
CB Payments Limited (CBPL), a crypto asset trading platform, repeatedly breached rules that should have prevented the firm from offering services to high-risk customers, the FCA said Thursday in a press release.
