Regulatory compliance failure occurs when an individual or entity does not adhere to the laws, regulations, or industry standards governing their operations. In the digital asset space, this can involve breaches of anti-money laundering (AML) rules, know-your-customer (KYC) requirements, securities laws, or data privacy mandates. Such failures often result in significant penalties, reputational damage, and loss of operating licenses. They highlight the critical importance of robust internal controls and legal adherence.
