A fiat-to-crypto exchange is a platform that allows users to purchase cryptocurrencies using traditional government-issued currencies, such as USD or EUR. These exchanges serve as primary gateways for individuals to enter the digital asset market. They typically require users to complete Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures. The exchange facilitates the conversion of conventional money into digital assets.
Context
Fiat-to-crypto exchanges are subject to extensive financial regulations due to their interface with traditional banking systems. Current discussions often focus on stringent compliance requirements, including enhanced identity verification and transaction monitoring. Regulatory bodies worldwide are increasing scrutiny to prevent illicit financial flows through these platforms. Future developments anticipate a more harmonized global regulatory landscape for these crucial access points to digital assets.
