Based on the available search results, I cannot provide a comprehensive list of specific cryptocurrency enforcement actions in Portugal with the detailed information you requested (regulator name, entity targeted, violation type, penalty amount, date, and outcome).

The search results contain limited enforcement action details. The only specific enforcement actions mentioned are Eurojust-coordinated international operations targeting cryptocurrency fraud rather than Portuguese regulatory actions:

  • September 2025: Eurojust coordinated an operation halting a cryptocurrency investment fraud exceeding 100 million euros across Europe, resulting in five arrests including the alleged main perpetrator.[1]
  • May 2024: A coordinated operation uncovered a cryptocurrency scam using "rip deals" methods, leading to suspect arrests in France, with investigations involving Portugal, Germany, Italy, and Romania.[1]

However, these are international enforcement actions rather than specific Portuguese regulatory penalties.

The search results indicate that Portuguese regulators deploy routine inspections and audits on fintech participants, with potential penalties ranging from administrative notices to fines and license suspension or revocation, and that enforcement action details are available on supervisors' official websites.[7] However, the specific enforcement actions, penalty amounts, and outcomes are not detailed in the provided search results.

To obtain the comprehensive three-year enforcement action data you're seeking, you would need to consult:

  • The Portuguese Securities Commission (CMVM) website for market abuse and crypto asset service provider violations
  • The Bank of Portugal for anti-money laundering compliance actions
  • Individual regulator enforcement databases
