Technical Errors Expose Millions in Coinbase Europe Transactions
-

The Irish Central Bank’s fine stems from three coding errors in Coinbase Europe’s monitoring system, affecting five of 21 screening scenarios. Transactions exceeding $202 billion went partially unchecked during 2021–2022, representing 31% of all Coinbase Europe activity.
Coinbase says it detected the issue internally, fixed it within weeks, and reviewed all affected transactions.
