Exchange Compliance Framework

Definition

An exchange compliance framework comprises the rules, procedures, and systems that cryptocurrency exchanges implement to meet legal and regulatory requirements. These frameworks typically cover anti-money laundering (AML), know-your-customer (KYC) protocols, sanctions screening, and market surveillance. Their purpose is to prevent illicit financial activities and protect consumers within the digital asset trading environment. Adherence to these guidelines is essential for operational legitimacy.
