Reduced Penalties refers to a decrease in the severity or amount of punitive measures applied for non-compliance with regulations or contractual obligations. In financial contexts, this can involve lower fines, shorter suspensions, or more lenient enforcement actions. This often occurs as a result of policy changes, negotiation, or proactive efforts by entities to rectify past deficiencies. It aims to encourage compliance while avoiding disproportionate consequences.
Context

In the digital asset space, discussions around reduced penalties may surface as jurisdictions refine their regulatory approaches, offering leniency for early adopters or those working towards compliance in a new environment. Such reductions can influence industry behavior and foster a more cooperative regulatory atmosphere.
