Scorechain periodically releases crypto regulation guides. These guides help compliance officers grasp every aspect of crypto AML requirements and help them to be compliant.
Crypto regulation is evolving worlwide...
With the recent explosion in cryptocurrency usage and adoption comes more regulation. Indeed, more and more countries are strictly regulating cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency platforms to avoid them being used for unlawful purposes. From FATF’s recommendations to the Travel Rule or sanctions list compliance, it can be hard for companies to apply all regulatory requirements on cryptocurrencies.
This regulatory trend will likely go on in 2022 and in the years to come as crypto markets will get bigger and bigger. Today, different jurisdictions are putting in place comprehensive crypto regulations. For example in France, the US, El Salvador, Germany, Canada, etc.
…to tackle financial risks
This trend of implementing regulations all over the world aims to keep crypto markets safe. But, it also fosters innovation and prevents illegal activities. More specifically, cryptocurrencies can represent risks such as money laundering (ML), terrorism financing (TF), or fraud. Because cryptocurrencies can be hard to trace, it can encourage criminals to use them to try cashing out their illicit proceeds.
Over the last years, we have seen several incidents in the crypto sphere such as hacks, scams, thefts. Regulations are put in place to prevent criminals from using cryptocurrencies for ML/TF purposes. The regulatory requirements often require companies to conduct transaction monitoring and risks analysis on the cryptocurrencies they manage. But, implementing all these requirements and understanding all regulatory specifications can be difficult for some.
