FCA fines Coinbase £3m citing money laundering concerns

A Coinbase platform has found itself in choppy regulatory waters in the UK, having been hit with a hefty fine by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

CB Payments Limited (CBPL) serves as a gateway for customers to subsequently trade crypto assets via other Coinbase-operated platforms, but is not registered to trade crypto itself in the UK.

The FCA has fined the firm for violating a key term of the voluntary requirement (VREQ) it signed with the regulator back in 2020. CBPL’s VERQ prevented the company from onboarding high-risk customers until issues in its framework were addressed.

IN VIDEO: HEZBOLLAH AIR DEFENSES FIRE MISSILES AT ISRAELI JETS OVER LEBANON

Support SouthFront


Hezbollah announced late on July 25 that its air defenses had fired missiles at Israeli fighter jets operating over Lebanon.

The missiles were fired “in support of the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their valiant and honorable resistance,” the group said in a statement, adding that its air defense fire forced the fighter jets “to retreat and withdraw behind the Lebanese border with occupied Palestine.”

Video footage posted to social networks showed Israeli fighter jets dropping flares and speeding back across the border after being targeted. Nevertheless, no hits were reported by Hezbollah or the Israeli Air Force (IAF).


Hezbollah air defenses fired missiles on Israeli fighter jets more than once since the clashes on the Lebanese-Israeli border broke out after the start of the war on Gaza last October. The group also managed to shoot down at least five Israeli combat drones.

The full extent of Hezbollah air defense capabilities remains unknown. However, it has been confirmed that the group possesses advanced medium-range air defense systems, at least including the Iranian-made Sayyad-2 anti-aircraft missile.

A recent Israeli military assessment concluded that the IAF will need to take risks to combat Hezbollah’s air defenses in case of a full-blown war with Lebanon, according to the Times of Israel.

The IAF has assessed that some of its fighter jets may be shot down by the group during such a war, and risks will need to be taken to obtain aerial superiority during the first days.

The clashes on the Israeli-Lebanese border escalated in the last few months. The death toll on the Israeli side has reached 30, including 18 soldiers. Meanwhile in Lebanon, more than 500 people have been killed, including 358 fighters of Hezbollah.

Could Labour impose a “double death tax” of more than 50%?

Speculation is mounting that capital gains tax will be reformed in the Budget - and one option is to charge bereaved families the tax on top of inheritance tax.

CGT is paid by property owners who make a profit when selling a buy-to-let or holiday home, as well as business owners and investors. For example, if you hold shares or investments outside an ISA, and make a gain above the tax-free allowance, you may incur a CGT bill.

The Labour manifesto promised there would be no increases to income tax, National Insurance, VAT and corporation tax. But it made no such promises about CGT.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves will deliver her first Budget this autumn, and experts are warning that it could contain a CGT hike in a bid to raise revenue.

Revolut secures long-awaited banking license after 3 years—positioning the firm to rival banking giants Barclays and HSBC


Revolut Ltd. said it received a British banking license from regulators, a move that allows the fintech firm to better challenge traditional banking giants such as Barclays Plc and HSBC Holdings Plc.

The Prudential Regulation Authority authorized the permit, though it comes with some restrictions, a common step for many new banks in the UK, according to a statement from Revolut on Thursday. It allows the London-based company to enter the so-called mobilization stage, Revolut said.

Revolut has already experienced staggering growth in recent years and the company now banks 45 million customers around the world. A full UK license will enable Revolut to provide overdrafts, loans and savings products to its more than 9 million UK customers — joining the likes of rivals Monzo Bank Ltd., Starling Bank Ltd. and Atom Bank Plc.

I reckon Barclays will complete the buy back before results ;)

Looking forward to a new £500m+ buyback, hopefully £1bn.
