Bank compliance refers to the adherence by financial institutions to laws, regulations, and ethical standards governing their operations. This includes directives aimed at preventing illicit financial activities, safeguarding consumer data, and maintaining market integrity. Such adherence ensures the stability of the financial system and protects against reputational and monetary penalties. It also involves establishing internal controls and procedures to meet supervisory expectations.
Context

Debates persist regarding the appropriate classification and oversight of various cryptocurrencies and blockchain applications. Future developments will likely center on the creation of specialized regulatory guidance that addresses the unique risks and operational considerations presented by digital assets. This ongoing adaptation shapes how traditional banks interact with the evolving crypto economy.
