On September 18, the California DFPI ordered a digital financial asset kiosk operator to cease operations for violating the state’s Consumer Financial Protection Law and Digital Financial Assets Law by allegedly operating crypto-asset ATMs illegally throughout California. According to the order, since January 1, 2024, the operator had accepted more than $1,000 in cash from customers on at least 29 occasions. Additionally, since January 1, the operator processed over 3,006 transactions charging fees to California customers above legal limits and failed to provide required disclosures. The kiosks also allegedly printed more than 14,120 receipts missing essential information since January 1, 2024, including the customer’s name and the digital asset exchange used to determine the spread. Moreover, since January 1, 2024, insufficient identifying information was collected from customers in at least 4,163 transactions. The DFPI is seeking administrative penalties totaling $60,810,000 and has ordered the operator and affiliates to stop all unlawful digital financial asset kiosk practices in the state.
