Block agrees to $40 million fine from New York State Department of Financial Services

Wall Street regulatory agency announced on Thursday that Block, Inc. has agreed to a $40 million settlement with the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) to compensate for "significant mistakes" in its anti-money laundering compliance program. The New York Department of Financial Services added that the company led by Jack Dorsey has agreed to hire an independent monitor after violating the department's rules on transfers and virtual currency. The New York State Department of Financial Services found that Block had "inadequate customer due diligence" and failed to implement systems sufficient to prevent money laundering and illegal activities. The services of Block were "easily exploited by criminals" and it was believed that Block's "lenient handling" of Bitcoin transactions led to a large number of anonymous transactions evading scrutiny.

  • Hyperliquid Policy Center Urges US SEC and CFTC to Adopt Unified Perpetual Contract Framework

    On August 25, the Hyperliquid Policy Center (HPC) submitted comments to the US SEC and CFTC, stating that the two agencies have been striving to find answers regarding the classification of perpetual contracts over the past year. HPC believes that perpetual contracts for stocks, which possess traditional features of futures contracts, can be classified as securities futures. HPC urges the US SEC and CFTC to establish a unified classification system for perpetual contracts, based on the characteristics of each contract and its trading methods, grouping similar products together regardless of whether they reference Bitcoin, crude oil, or individual securities. HPC calls for the US SEC and CFTC to take the following four actions: 1. Confirm that the definition of securities futures includes the established features of futures contracts, allowing cash-settled stock perpetual contracts with these features to be listed as securities futures. 2. Retain the flexibility that trading venues currently have in making product listing decisions. 3. Maintain consistency in classification between the two agencies so that perpetual contracts, regardless of the underlying asset, receive the same threshold classification. 4. Modernize the securities futures framework to revitalize the category and adapt to new product structures.
