In December 2023, Senator Elizabeth Warren asked Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan whether crypto companies handling financial transactions should follow the same anti-money-laundering rules as banks.<\/p>\n

“Absolutely,” he said. On Oct. 13, Treasury announced more than $1.2 billion in penalties against his bank. FinCEN found that Bank of America admitted to willfully violating the Bank Secrecy Act and failed to report over $5 billion in suspicious transactions on time.<\/p>\n

What regulators found at Bank of America<\/h2>\n

FinCEN assessed $1.2 billion<\/a>, including the OCC's $750 million penalty<\/a>, the largest civil money penalty the OCC has assessed against a bank. OFAC separately announced an $11.6 million settlement covering 475 apparent sanctions violations.<\/p>\n

FinCEN says the bank admitted violations in three areas: its AML program, due diligence on foreign correspondent accounts and the filing of suspicious activity reports.<\/p>\n

More than $1 billion of the late-reported transactions involved priority illicit-finance and national-security risks, including Chinese money laundering networks and potential trade-based laundering near the southwestern border.<\/p>\n

The OCC found deficient transaction monitoring across trillions of dollars in activity, late reports involving billions, insufficient BSA staff expertise, inadequate training, audit failures and weak remediation of a December 2024 cease-and-desist order.<\/p>\n

Treasury said the bank relied too heavily on law-enforcement inquiries, referrals from other institutions, and external interventions to identify suspicious activity, with its internal monitoring systems playing a smaller role.<\/p>\n

Comptroller Jonathan Gould described the second-largest US bank as processing hundreds of trillions of dollars annually, carrying a high and increasing illicit-finance risk profile and showing “widespread breakdowns” since the 2024 order.<\/p>\n

The findings span several years, including the period since Moynihan's Senate testimony. The $5 billion measures suspicious transactions reported late, rather than an established total of laundered money.<\/p>\n

The banking lobby's crypto push<\/h2>\n

At the Dec. 6, 2023 Senate Banking Committee hearing<\/a>, Warren first asked whether Bank of America had systems to detect, report, and stop potential terrorist-financing activity, and Moynihan answered yes.<\/p>\n

Warren<\/a> then asked about crypto companies, and he replied “Absolutely,”<\/a> endorsing equivalent AML obligations for crypto firms that handle financial transactions.<\/p>\n

Moynihan sits on the Bank Policy Institute board and has served as its chair, according to Bank of America's investor materials.<\/p>\n\n

In August 2026, BPI published a policy paper titled “Same Risks, Same Safeguards.” It argues that digital asset rules leave illicit-finance gaps in secondary markets, including exchanges, custodians, and DeFi firms, with a particular focus on stablecoin activity.<\/p>\n

BPI also endorsed 2023 efforts<\/a> to extend Bank Secrecy Act requirements across the digital asset industry.<\/p>\n

Crypto uses the case<\/h2>\n

Figure executive Mike Cagney has pointed to the Bank of America action while arguing that the crypto industry handles KYC better than US banks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

KYC covers customer onboarding, and the Bank of America findings concern ongoing transaction monitoring, suspicious-activity reporting, and correspondent due diligence, which makes the comparison narrower than the rhetoric around it.<\/p>\n

Crypto's record adds context, with Binance<\/a> pleading guilty in 2023 to Bank Secrecy Act conspiracy, failure to register as a money transmitter, and sanctions violations. It agreed to pay $4.3 billion<\/a> and accepted an independent monitor.<\/p>\n

A FinCEN analysis<\/a> found that Bank Secrecy Act reports filed from September 2023 through December 2025 identified about $12.7 billion in suspected digital asset investment scam-related financial activity.<\/p>\n

Where the Bank of America debate goes from here<\/h2>\n

One possible policy response is consistent AML enforcement across banks and crypto firms.<\/p>\n

Crypto firms with auditable on-chain monitoring, wallet screening, and automated controls would then argue they can meet legacy-bank standards, and the debate would turn to which systems produce better, faster financial intelligence.<\/p>\n

If banking groups and lawmakers read the case as proof that AML surveillance needs strengthening everywhere, both sectors face heavier compliance burdens. Exchanges, custodians and stablecoin intermediaries<\/a> could face broader Bank Secrecy Act coverage, and DeFi, wallets and stablecoin secondary markets would become the main policy battleground.<\/p>\n

Moynihan told the Senate that crypto firms should meet bank standards. The Oct. 13 findings turn that standard into a test for banks and crypto firms alike: enforcement of the rules as written.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
