Regulatory Settlement

Definition

A regulatory settlement refers to a formal agreement reached between a company or individual and a regulatory authority to resolve allegations of non-compliance or violations of laws. In the digital asset industry, these settlements often involve penalties, operational restrictions, or mandates for improved compliance measures. They typically result from investigations into unregistered securities offerings, anti-money laundering failures, or other regulatory breaches. Such agreements aim to enforce market rules and deter future infractions.
