OKX, a cryptocurrency exchange, has been issued a fine for €1.1 million by Malta's regulatory authority, the Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIAU), for administrative breaches.
Following a compliance review by the FIAU in April 2023, the authority identified gaps within OKX's compliance and AML frameworks. Despite remediations being made by the company to its processes, systems, and procedures in the intervening time, the fine remained above €1million.
Commenting on the matter, OKX says: "We welcome the FIAU’s statements with regards to the improvements made, and will continue working with the FIAU and other regulatory authorities in strengthening the AML/CFT internal control framework in line with the highest standards of compliance."
