AML CFT Guidelines are regulatory directives designed to prevent illicit financial activities. These policies and procedures aim at deterring money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism within financial systems. Such guidelines mandate financial institutions, including those dealing with digital assets, to monitor transactions and report suspicious activities. Adherence to these measures helps maintain financial system integrity.
Context

Regulators worldwide continue to refine these guidelines, seeking to balance innovation in digital finance with the imperative of preventing financial crime. Industry participants closely monitor updates to these standards, as they directly influence operational requirements and market access.
