A regulatory penalty is a fine, sanction, or other punitive measure imposed by a government agency or regulatory body for failing to comply with laws, rules, or standards. In the digital asset sector, these penalties can be levied against individuals or entities for violations related to licensing, anti-money laundering, or securities regulations. They serve to enforce compliance and deter illicit activities.
