CLS Global, a leading digital asset market maker and liquidity provider has announced that it has reached agreements with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the United States Department of Justice. This settlement comes as CLS Global is responding and cooperating with regulators like the SEC and the DOJ, to address trading activities on platforms like Uniswap.
On April 2, the matter was finally decided in a federal court in Boston, with a penalty of $428,059 and a three-year probation imposed on the firm. During this period, the firm will not be able to carry out its services in the United States markets, with most of the allegations centered around the FBI’s NexFundAI token investigations that started in May 2024.
As noted in the official documents, CLS Global “promptly retained counsel” and strengthened its internal policies. CLS Global’s cooperation and immediate action shows the importance of the company’s compliance system and ethical business conduct.
“We have added the best compliance tools that will set the best standards for market makers in the crypto industry,” CLS Global CEO Fillip Vaselov said. “The resolution also allows us to close the case and focus on delivering the best services to our global users in places where we operate within the legal framework.”
An agreement in this case shows there is a regulatory framework that benefits the industry in place. As part of the settlement, CLS Global will change the location of its services and improve its compliance infrastructure to ensure that operational excellence continues. Such measures will protect both the company and clients across global markets.
“Our quick approach to this matter shows CLS Global’s commitment to transparency and standard business practices, ” Filipp Vaselov added. “We are excited to continue serving our global clients using stronger operational controls that will be added to our compliance tools.”
