A compliance program in the digital asset sector refers to a structured set of internal policies, procedures, and controls designed to meet legal and regulatory obligations. These programs address areas such as anti-money laundering (AML), know-your-customer (KYC) requirements, and sanctions screening. Their purpose is to prevent illicit financial activities and ensure adherence to applicable laws. Effective programs mitigate legal and reputational risks for crypto businesses.

A key discussion point involves adapting existing financial regulations to the unique characteristics of blockchain technology and decentralized finance.
