Sanctions compliance involves adhering to laws and regulations that restrict financial transactions or dealings with specific entities, individuals, or countries. This requires financial institutions and digital asset service providers to screen transactions and users against official sanctions lists. The objective is to prevent illicit financial activities and support national security interests. Failure to comply can result in severe penalties.
