28 Jul 2025 Peken Global Limited (KuCoin)FINTRAC: CAD 19,552,000 penalty on Peken Global Limited (KuCoin) for 3 violations of anti-money laundering obligations CanadaSuspicious activity reports €12.2m

According to FINTRAC, Peken Global Limited (KuCoin) is an entity determined to be a foreign money services business operating in Canada. Canada's anti-money laundering regulator FINTRAC imposed an administrative monetary penalty of CAD 19,552,000 on the company on 28 July 2025. According to FINTRAC's findings, the company committed 3 violations of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA) and its regulations. As described by the regulator, the violations concerned money services business registration requirements, large virtual currency transaction reporting and suspicious transaction reporting. Specifically, FINTRAC found 33 instances of unreported suspicious transactions; the regulator identified unreported virtual currency receipts of CAD 10,000 or more using blockchain analytics, and registration as a foreign money services business was not completed despite the opportunity to do so. According to FINTRAC, the company has appealed the decision to the Federal Court.
