5 Nov 2025 Coinbase Europe LimitedIreland: 21.5 million EUR against Coinbase Europe – 30 million transactions unchecked IrelandInternal controls €21.5m

In a settlement of 5 November 2025, the Central Bank of Ireland imposed a reprimand and 21,464,734 EUR (after a 30% discount on 30,663,906 EUR) for breaches of transaction monitoring obligations between April 2021 and March 2025: because of configuration errors in the monitoring system, more than 30 million transactions worth over 176 billion EUR – around 31% of all transactions – were not properly monitored over a period of twelve months. The subsequent review took almost three years and led to 2,708 suspicious transaction reports; the High Court confirmed the sanction on 12 January 2026, and it is the Central Bank's first enforcement action in the crypto sector.

What organisations can take from it

Test monitoring rules regularly for complete coverage – a silent configuration error can go undetected for years.
