The European Council and Parliament have tentatively agreed to bring the cryptocurrency market under the purview of EU anti-money laundering (AML) and anti-terrorism financing laws.

Artur Schaback has admitted that between July 2015 and June 2019, under his leadership, the P2P exchange Paxful failed to comply with U.S. regulations on customer identification (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) standards.

The U.S. Senate is considering a new bill aimed at imposing strict anti-money laundering (AML) rules on decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. The Crypto-Asset National Security Enhancement Act of 2023 targets entities controlling DeFi protocols or providing their applications. It requires customer vetting, AML programs, and reports of suspicious activities. In absence of a controlling entity, anyone investing over $25 million in a protocol's development would be responsible.
