PREVIEWKraken will invest $100,000 in its sanctions compliance controls as part of the settlement agreement, which includes training and technical measures. Kraken failed, however, to set up IP address blocking on transaction activity across its platform, according to the Treasury Department. Cryptocurrency exchange Bittrex Inc. in October agreed to pay $29 million to the department to settle allegations that it violated sanctions and anti-money-laundering laws.
Nov 28 (Reuters) - Crypto exchange Kraken has agreed to pay a fine to settle civil liability related to apparent violations of sanctions on Iran, the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control said on Monday. As part of the settlement with OFAC, Kraken will pay about $362,000, and "invest an additional $100,000 in certain sanctions compliance controls." "Even before entering into this resolution, Kraken had taken a series of steps to bolster our compliance measures," Santori added. According to the OFAC statement, Kraken's platform processed 826 transactions for users located in Iran between roughly October 2015 to June 2019. In October, the Treasury Department had also fined crypto exchange Bittrex Inc $29 million in fines for "apparent violations" of sanctions on certain countries and anti-money laundering law.
