REGULATION | Jack Dorsey’s #Block Agrees to Pay Over $750 million in a DoJ Money Laundering Settlement Jack Dorsey’s payments company, #Block, has agreed in principle to pay $764 million to resolve a U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) investigation into its anti-money-laundering (AML) controls as the firm’s Bitcoin business reported a sharp decline in quarterly profit. The proposed settlement, disclosed in a November 3 2026 securities filing, would defer for 3 years a criminal charge alleging that Block failed to maintain an effective anti-money-laundering programme in violation of the Bank Secrecy Act. The agreement carries a gross monetary component of about $964 million, reduced to $764 million after credits for previous regulatory settlements. Block has already set aside the amount although the final agreement remains subject to court approval. bitcoinke.io/2026/11/block-a… #CryptoCrime #CrimeAML #RegulationUSA #CryptoUSA #BlockTales

EXPERT OPINION | U.S Crypto Regulation Likely to Advance Through Agencies According to a legal expert at @1inch, the #midterms2026 elections could reshape the prospects for the stalled #CLARITYAct but ‘real movement’ in U.S digital asset regulation over the next few years would come from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Treasury Department, rather than Congress. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have emerged as key players in determining how digital assets are classified and regulated in the United States.
