Australian Crypto Exchange Cointree Fined Over Delayed Suspicious Activity Reports

Regulators drop the hammer on Melbourne-based exchange after it missed deadlines for reporting shady activity—because nothing says ’compliance’ like a leisurely approach to financial crime.

Another day, another crypto firm learning the hard way that AML rules aren’t just suggestions. The AUSTRAC penalty reads like a case study in how not to run an exchange.

Pro tip for platforms: When whales start moving suspicious stacks, maybe don’t hit ’snooze’ on the alert button. Just a thought.
