Financial crime compliance involves adhering to laws and regulations designed to prevent and detect illicit activities such as money laundering, terrorist financing, and sanctions evasion within financial systems. For digital assets, this includes implementing Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures. It requires monitoring transactions and reporting suspicious activities to relevant authorities. Strict compliance helps safeguard the integrity of the financial ecosystem.
