The FTC's $10 million settlement with Celsius co-founder Daniel Mashinsky marks another high-profile enforcement action against crypto lending platforms over deceptive marketing. The order reflects regulators' intensifying focus on misleading yield claims in digital asset products. Today we also cover MoneyGram's French fine, a fresh Iran sanctions designation, and the joint FinCEN/OFAC push to tighten stablecoin issuer compliance obligations. Three separate regulatory signals you need to track.
In this edition
- Mashinsky sold "safety" to 1.3 million people, then walked them off a cliff.
- MoneyGram moves billions across borders but couldn't classify its own customers properly in France.
- OFAC just added a name to the SDN list, and your screening refresh schedule is now the problem.
- Stablecoin issuers just got drafted into the bank regulatory club, whether their compliance functions are ready or not.
