CFTC orders UBS Financial Services to pay $8M for AML failures
['Editorial Team']
Crypto Briefing
UBS Financial Services Inc. and UBS Securities LLC were named alongside the parent company in an enforcement action covering violations stretching from at least 2015 through 2024.
UBS relied on a third-party surveillance tool to monitor its trading activity across foreign exchange, precious metals, and credit products.
The surveillance gaps weren’t limited to the faulty third-party tool.
The CFTC isn’t saying UBS committed market manipulation or fraud.
The nine-year duration of UBS’s surveillance failures, spanning from at least 2015 through 2024, is perhaps the most instructive detail.
