Counter-Terrorist Financing

Definition

Counter-Terrorist Financing refers to the measures and regulations designed to prevent individuals and organizations from funding terrorist activities. This involves monitoring financial transactions, identifying suspicious activities, and reporting them to appropriate authorities. In the digital asset space, it necessitates robust Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) protocols for exchanges and service providers. Its objective is to disrupt the financial pipelines that sustain illicit operations.
