Coinbase Europe Fined By Irish Regulator
On Thursday, the Central Bank of Ireland announced its first enforcement action against the crypto sector after fining Coinbase Europe Limited, the European arm of the US exchange, for multiple anti-money laundering monitoring failures over the past four years.
According to the announcement, the Irish regulator and the crypto exchange settled on November 5, 2025, resulting in the $35.3 million (€30.6 million) penalty being reduced to $24.75 million after a 30% settlement scheme discount.
