AML compliance refers to adherence to regulations designed to prevent money laundering activities. These rules mandate financial institutions, including those dealing with digital assets, to implement procedures for identifying and reporting suspicious transactions. The objective is to thwart the illicit use of financial systems for criminal purposes.
