A virtual currency business is an entity that engages in activities involving the exchange, transmission, storage, or issuance of virtual currencies. This includes cryptocurrency exchanges, wallet providers, and other services facilitating transactions with digital assets. Such businesses are often subject to specific regulatory frameworks, including anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements. They form a core part of the digital asset economy.
