Compliance Burden Increase

Definition

Compliance burden increase refers to the growing volume and complexity of regulatory requirements imposed on businesses operating in the digital asset sector. This phenomenon requires firms to dedicate more resources to legal adherence, reporting, and internal controls to meet evolving standards. It often results from new legislation aimed at combating money laundering, terrorist financing, and consumer protection within crypto markets. Firms must adapt their operational procedures to avoid penalties and maintain their licenses.
