VASP Compliance Framework

Definition ∞ A VASP Compliance Framework is a structured set of rules, policies, and procedures that Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) must implement to meet regulatory obligations. These frameworks typically address anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing (CTF), and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements. It ensures legal adherence for digital asset businesses.
Context ∞ The establishment of robust VASP compliance frameworks is a global priority for financial regulators aiming to mitigate risks associated with digital assets. Jurisdictions worldwide are developing and enforcing these frameworks, requiring VASPs to adopt stringent operational standards. This area remains a significant focus for industry participants seeking to operate legally and build trust within the digital asset ecosystem.
