The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has ramped up its enforcement efforts against crypto firms in 2024, collecting $4.7 billion in fines—a massive 3,018% increase from the previous year.
This year’s <a href="https://socialcapitalmarkets.net/crypto-trading/crypto-sec-fines-penalties/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">hefty total</a> was largely driven by the landmark settlement with Terraform Labs, the company behind the Terra ecosystem collapse and the UST stablecoin de-pegging. As part of the settlement, Terraform was ordered to pay a hefty $4.47 billion fine.
The report stated that since 2013, the SEC has levied a total of $7.42 billion in fines, with 63%, or $4.7 billion, coming in 2024 alone. The 11 enforcement actions taken this year resulted in an average fine of $426 million, dwarfing previous years’ averages.
