It’s not a surprise that Ripple is taking more measures to ensure due diligence. In 2015, Ripple was slammed with a $450,000 fine by the United States Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). This action was taken against Ripple and its subsidiary XRP II. They were accused of violating the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). The regulatory body claims that Ripple did not implement all the required AML policies and they started selling the XRP token without getting the Money Services License like other providers of FinTech services. It wasn’t until 2014 that Ripple started operating with regulatory compliance.
Ripple’s senior vice president of marketing and communications, Monica Long, said that Ripple has been working hard to ensure that they are regulatory compliant. In Long’s words;
“We’ve been consistent in our message of supporting a compliant and healthy Ripple ecosystem.
Ripple had to shell out a hefty $450,000 fine to settle with FinCEN.”
