Financial crime duties encompass the obligations of financial institutions and digital asset service providers to prevent, detect, and report illicit financial activities. These responsibilities typically include implementing anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) controls. Adherence to these duties helps safeguard the financial system from abuse by criminals. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties and reputational harm.

A key debate involves how to apply traditional AML/CTF rules to pseudonymous or decentralized protocols effectively. Critical future developments will include enhanced global cooperation among regulatory bodies and the advancement of technological solutions for compliance in blockchain environments.
