The Regulatory Landscape
Why Cryptocurrency AML Compliance Cannot Wait
FATF guidance on virtual assets has been adopted across all major financial jurisdictions. VASPs — including exchanges, wallet providers, and DeFi protocols — are now subject to the same AML obligations as traditional financial institutions in most markets.
Regulatory enforcement is accelerating. Exchanges and VASPs have faced multi-million dollar fines for AML deficiencies. Law firms accepting cryptocurrency payments from clients face source of funds obligations. Financial institutions with crypto exposure require counterparty risk assessment.
Our CAMS-certified compliance specialists bring both the regulatory knowledge and the blockchain forensics capability required to build and maintain a credible cryptocurrency AML programme.

Common Questions
Cryptocurrency AML (Anti-Money Laundering) compliance is the application of financial crime risk management frameworks to virtual asset transactions. It includes Know Your Customer (KYC) processes, transaction monitoring, source of funds verification, suspicious activity reporting, and adherence to FATF Travel Rule requirements. VASPs and financial institutions handling crypto are required to maintain AML programmes in most jurisdictions.
Our compliance services address FATF recommendations for virtual assets, the EU's 5th and 6th AML Directives (AMLD5/6), the US Bank Secrecy Act and FinCEN guidance on virtual currency, the UK FCA's cryptoasset registration requirements, and equivalent frameworks in Canada, Australia, Singapore, and other major jurisdictions.
Source of funds analysis traces the origin of cryptocurrency to verify it is derived from legitimate sources. We analyse the on-chain history of wallet addresses to assess exposure to high-risk counterparties (darknet markets, sanctioned entities, known fraud addresses), produce a risk score, and document our findings in a compliance-grade report.
