Institutional Compliance

Definition

Institutional compliance refers to the adherence by financial institutions and other organizations to the laws, regulations, and standards governing their operations, particularly within the digital asset sector. This includes adhering to Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements, as well as specific rules related to digital asset custody, trading, and reporting. For traditional finance entities entering the crypto space, robust institutional compliance is a prerequisite for secure and legitimate operation. It provides a framework for responsible engagement.
