    Cryptocurrency businesses operating under the FICA must comply with a range of regulations to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. These include conducting customer due diligence, verifying the identity of customers, and monitoring transactions for suspicious activities. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in penalties and legal consequences.

    Under the FICA, cryptocurrency businesses are required to implement robust anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) procedures. This involves collecting and verifying customer information, conducting risk assessments, and reporting any suspicious transactions to the relevant authorities. By ensuring compliance with these regulations, cryptocurrency businesses can help maintain the integrity of the financial system.
