The Importance of AML Processes in Cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrency companies are required to have robust anti-money laundering (AML) processes in place to verify the identity of every sender and beneficiary. This is crucial to ensure that illegal activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing are prevented. The highly anonymous and high-risk nature of cryptocurrency assets, wallets, and exchanges has necessitated compliance with international AML/CFT regulations. Crypto entities are categorized as 'obliged entities' under the EU's 5th Anti-Money Laundering Directive (5AMLD), requiring them to perform customer due diligence (CDD) and report suspicious activities.
