How does ChainComply revolutionise AML in the post-MiCA era?
The previously distinct worlds of cryptocurrency and traditional finance are becoming interconnected. Here is what that means for your institution.
MiCA: the new crypto-to-fiat regulatory framework
The Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation establishes a unique regulatory environment in the EU for crypto businesses, but it also creates new risks for established traditional financial institutions. The previously distinct worlds of cryptocurrency and traditional finance will become interconnected. By January 1, 2025, the compliance deadline had passed, and most financial institutions are still not compliant.
Regulatory compliance
The EBA's 16/10 AML update implements MiCA. The new guidance requires all financial institutions to:
- Review and update AML policies and procedures regarding their exposure to the new risk MiCA brings.
- Enhance due-diligence processes for high-risk customer transactions coming from crypto exchanges.
- Invest in new technologies that allow for know-your-transaction investigations.
- Increase focus on staff training on these risks and tools.
Stay ahead of the curve with ChainComply's MiCA AML compliance solution. The platform provides the tools and insights to meet evolving regulatory requirements, whether you transact on blockchain or not.
