About CFTC enforcement

The CFTC charges market participants under the Commodity Exchange Act for spoofing, manipulation, fraud, wash trades, registration violations, and commodity-pool-operator misconduct. Most actions settle with restitution + civil money penalty + a bar/suspension. Crypto-asset cases have been a major share since 2019.
