12 Dec 2024 Bit Trade Pty Ltd (Betreiber der Kryptobörse Kraken)Kraken operator Bit Trade: AUD 8m penalty for missing target market determination €4.87m
From October 2021 Bit Trade offered more than 1,100 Australian customers a “margin extension” product, which the Court classified as a credit facility, without having made the required target market determination. Customers paid more than USD 7 million in fees and interest and suffered trading losses of more than USD 5 million. The Court imposed AUD 8 million; it was the first penalty for a missing target market determination.
Crypto providers too must check whether their products are regulated financial products and make a target market determination before distribution.
