                        Division of Enforcement Performance Highlights


                        The Division of Enforcement (DOE) FY 2022 performance is reflected in the

                   enforcement actions it filed and the litigation and cooperative enforcement successes

                   it achieved.


                        The CFTC’s 82 enforcement actions included the following, among others:


                        Digital Asset-Related Actions


                        In Fiscal Year 2022, the Commission brought 18 actions involving conduct

                   related to digital assets, representing more than 20% of all actions filed during FY

                   2022. Through those actions, the Commission charged manipulation of the Digitex

                   Futures native token; charged a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO);

                   addressed failures to register or seek designation as a designated contract market

                   (DCM), swap execution facility (SEF) or futures commission merchant (FCM); and
                   took on fraud, including a $1.7 billion fraudulent scheme.


                                 The CFTC charged defendants, who operated a digital asset

                           exchange under the trade name “Digitex Futures,” with illegally offering

                           futures transactions on a platform other than a DCM and also with attempting

                           to manipulate the price of the Digitex Futures native token and failing to

                           implement a Customer Identification and Anti-Money Laundering program.


                                 The CFTC charged defendants with commodity pool fraud, among

                           other violations, arising from defendants’ acceptance of at least 29,421

                           Bitcoin—with a value of over $1,733,838,372—from approximately 23,000

                           non-ECPs from the United States.


                                 The CFTC charged a DCM with, directly and through others,

                           making false or misleading statements of material facts, or omitting to state
                           material facts, to the CFTC during an evaluation of the potential

                           self-certification of a bitcoin futures contract. The proposed bitcoin futures

                           contract was to be settled by reference to the spot bitcoin price on the
