Money Laundering Regulations

Definition

Money Laundering Regulations are legal frameworks designed to prevent individuals and organizations from disguising the proceeds of criminal activity as legitimate funds. In the context of digital assets, these regulations, such as Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer requirements, mandate financial institutions and crypto service providers to identify customers and report suspicious transactions. Their purpose is to enhance financial transparency and combat illicit financing. Compliance is mandatory for regulated entities.
