An Anti-Money Laundering framework comprises the regulations and procedures designed to deter illicit financial activities. This structure includes legal mandates, reporting requirements, and compliance protocols that financial institutions and digital asset service providers must follow. Its primary goal is to prevent funds obtained from criminal enterprises from appearing legitimate. The framework helps identify suspicious transactions and report them to relevant authorities.
